MARCH 6: The Raiders have used the tag on Jacobs, per multiple reports. That will make him its third recipient this season, along with Daron Payne and Evan Engram. This marks the first time in 11 years that the Raiders have used the tag (safety Tyvon Branch being the latest example), and will extend the negotiating window for the two sides, as Jacobs looks to parlay his career-year into a top-end deal.
2 of the 6 are RB’s, apparently they’re not ALL a dime-a-dozen.
The franchise tag for a RB is actually a pretty good deal for the team. Only 10 mill for Saquon Barkley on the non exclusive tag for a back who had over 1600 yards and 10 TD’s last year. And if he signs a big contract with another team, they would still get 2 - 1st rounders.
Some positions the tag is crazy money, but RB is a good value if you have a stud RB.
Yep, generalizations are fine until they are applied to specific situations. I think it’s rather easy to make a case for Bijan Robinson.
