| With the salary cap at a record-high $224.8 million for 2023, the tags have been determined. Per multiple reports, the franchise tags are as follows: Quarterback: $32,416,000. Running back: $10,091,000. Receiver: $19,743,000. Tight end: $11,345,000. Offensive line: $18,244,000. Defensive end: $19,727,000. Defensive tackle: $18,937,000. Linebacker: $20,926,000. Cornerback: $18,140,000. Safety: $14,460,000. Kicker/punter: $5,393,000. The franchise tag allows a player to negotiate with other teams and sign an offer sheet. If his current team doesn’t match the offer, the new team gives up two first-round picks. The transition tag provides only a right to match, with no compensation. The transition tags are as follows: Quarterback: $29,504,000. Running back: $8,429,000. Receiver: $17,991,000. Tight end: $9,716,000. Offensive line: $16,660,000. Defensive end: $17,452,000.

The window for applying the tags opens on February 21 and closes on March 7. |
That's the non-exclusive franchise tag, not the exclusive rights franchise tag.
Sorry if this has already been posted. The exclusive rights franchise tag for a QB will be much higher.
I think Barkley gets tagged.
It's kind of what Wink was doing anyway, using 3 safeties and or safeties as LBS near the line of scrimmage or to cover TEs.

and that QB figure is lower than I thought

Correct. And that will be $45M+.
That stood out to me, too. I think some Edge players are OLBs like KT.

When's the last time we had one that wasn't on a rookie or veteran minimum contract lol?

That shows the GM's know how important that position is compared to the casual fan that always wants a WR / CB because it's a "Passing league now" as if to say linebackers have now impact on the passing game. We have to draft a Linebacker if Drew Sanders is on the board and we pass him up to take a "Diva WR or Corner" I will put my remote through the wall.
True
It's a perfect example of supply consistently outpacing demand.
I think a strong case can be made that having a great FG kicker is more important than a RB.
Because they're all "OL" for the purposes of the tag value.
