2018 Franchise Tag, RFA and ERFA

No LTDs right?

If not then I will franchise tag Jimmy G

ERFA: Mostert $480,000

 

LTD? I am stupid. What does that mean?

Either way ya you are stuck with the tag for our exercise. If you don't specify it's a non-exclusive tag we will assume it's exclusive and no one else can try to sign him.

 

LTD= Long Term Deal
Yea I'll use the exclusive tag

 

I thought that was what you meant.

 

Ty Nsekhe Second Round - $2,927,236
Deshazor Everett Original Round - $1,915,602

 

Cleveland Browns:
ERFA Josh Gordon WR $705,000
ERFA Dan Vitale FB $705,000
ERFA Austin Reiter C $705,000

 

If you are using the original tender please type the round in.

 

They are all ERFA, not Restricted

 

I was speaking to everyone.

 

Rams have made the following moves:

Franchise Tag
Safety Lamarcus Joyner - $11,081,000

Restricted Free Agency
DE/OLB Matt Longacre - second round tender - $2,927,236

Exclusive Rights Free Agency
Troy Hill - $630,000
Malcolm Brown - $630,000
Garrett Sickels - $480,000

Both Hill and Brown are listed as RFAs on the spreadsheet, but both Sportrac and OTC list them as ERFAs. Sickels is listed as being on a two year deal on the spreadsheet, but is listed as a ERFA on both Sportrac and OTC - I'm assuming its right to use both of those sources?

 

These sites always contradict themselves. We had many problems last year. Spotrac had guys listed differently on different pages. And OTC and Spotrac contradicted each other many times. I believe those 2 are ERFAs because they did not accrue a year in 2015. ERFA/RFA errors that are brought up will of course be approved on a case by case basis just as last year.

 

Additionally,

ERFA - Lafayette Pitts (CB) - $480,000

He was addicentally listed twice on my spreadsheet, so I initially thought he was already under contract.

 

Jets also sign:

RFA:

Rontez Miles (S) - Original Round Tender (UDFA) - $1,915,602
Xavier Cooper (DE) - Original Round Tender (3rd Round) - $1,915,602

 

First suggestion for future years of this exercise. We should differentiate between exclusive and non-exclusive Franchise tags. The values end up being roughly $2,000,000 apart. As is now, everyone gets a freebie on the "exclusive" part, costing us no extra cap space

 

The Colts tender offers to ERFA's
OL Jeremy Vujnovich ($555,000)
TE Erik Swoope ($555,000)

Colts also place the Exclusive Franchise Tag on G Jack Mewhort ($14,538,000)

 

Looks like you made the easy mistake of using last year's vet minimum numbers Beach. Easy fix...

Veteran Minimums
0 - $480,000
1 - $555,000
2 - $630,000
3 - $705,000
4-6 - $790,000
7-9 - $915,000
10+ - $1,015,000

 

Yes I did. Good catch.

 

Actually they are correct on my spreadsheet. Not sure how I put the wrong numbers in my post.

 

ERFA:
Jordan Lucas - $630,000
Jake Brendel - $630,000

RFA:
Anthony Steen - Orignal Round(UD) - $1,915,602
Neville Hewitt - Original Round(UD) - $1,915,602


I can't re-sign UFAs yet, right?

 

Free Agency starts on Wednesday, February 21st at 8am.
