this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Say the Saints tag a player and a deal is struck with said player before the free agent period begins can they then re-issue the franchise tag to another player?...

I'm not sure about that, but I doubt they would place the tag on a player until the last possible time to do so.

A franchise tag cannot be reused. It is a one-time annual designation.

That is not true... you don't lose your tag unless the FA period begins.
Essentially if you tag someone today then and you end up signing him to a long term deal over night or tomorrow then you still keep your tag and can use it on another player. You don't give up the tag until FA begins. This was actually done by NY Giants not that long ago. |

Didn't we lift the tag on somebody several years ago after we reached a multi-year deal? |

Don't recall but I do recall the Titans doing it a couple of years ago as well.
I don't see the advantage of tagging someone early. I mean if a player being tagged is going to make say 10 million for one season how is dangling a 4 year deal where next year he'll make only say 4 million. PLEASE TAG ME!!! |
