When is the last time a marquie player actually played under the tag?
I can't remember. Ever since Loomis has been around it is always at the very last minute but a deal eventually gets done. I can't remember the last time we had a key player we let play under the tag?

A Deal will get done in the 10 Mio. / year range.
Super backloaded and hopefully with incentives! |

To answer the question, there is a marquee player who played under the franchise tag just last year. He is a safety and he is on the Saints roster.

On blocking, however, he has to do a better job there... so the opposing defense can't discern whether is a pass or run when Graham is in the game. |

We use the Tag pretty sparingly. We tried to tag Brees, but I don't think we have used at all since Grant in the mid 2000's

From a cost standpoint it would be smarter to release him from the tag and allow someone else to sign him for $12 million a year. Playing under the tag is a cap disaster for the Saints. Quote:
That's playing up to your value. BTW all done on a foot injury. Keeping Graham from a long term contract because of blocking is like failing to pay Brees because his handoffs look funky. It's simply not where the value of the player resides. SFIAH |

New Orleans Saints place franchise tag on quarterback Drew Brees | NOLA.com The Saints did tag Brees. They had to. Otherwise he would have been a free agent. Getting tagged in March and playing under the tag in September are two completely different things. That's why the upcoming July 15th deadline is so crucial. It's the final date that a long term deal can be signed. After that the only options are to play under the tag, or not play at all. SFIAH |

I don't think Graham could become a HOFer anywhere else besides New Orleans. It's the system that helps him strive and the position could be filled (not replaced) by a player with a much lower price tag.

Patriots, 49ers, and even the Cowboys come to mind as teams that wouldn't have to go out of their way to accommodate Graham in their system... |
