There are a lot of teams with 100 million in cap space and desperate WR situations like the Niners, Jets, Bears that would give him a franchise WR deal right now. Then we have to decide on matching a deal without knowing how he will return from the ACL.

Or for just ~2 million more we can completely eliminate that risk and let 2018 play out before committing to a big, long term contract.


Exactly... the transition tag is like $13.8 mil which is right about what his market value truly is. But with the risk involved, just franchise tag the guy for a couple mil more. 

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.
