There's more to it than just the $2M difference. When you apply the franchise tag a player gets the opinion that he's not getting market value, will be reluctant to sign a long term contract, and could be a locker room cancer with a bad attitude. With the transition tag the player knows his true market value and the Jags either get him at that price, or at their original contract offer if it was more than his highest offer from another team. ARob knows he got full value from the Jags that way, so he's less likely to be a disgruntled player.

Of course there's the risk that another team will offer way more than he's worth. Not likely, but possible.


True, and then there's the risk for future years because the cost to franchise a player for the second straight year goes way up. Le'Veon Bell, for instance, is about to get franchised for a second straight year.  I worked out the numbers for ARob previously, and ARob's year-two cost would be something like $22 mil... and then it years three it goes up by an even greater percentage. A player who gets franchised all three years is actually among the luckiest players ever. Double D knows.
