Same here as every year: Top 5 for each position was taken based on our salaries and to prevent double counting of players I used spotrac to determine their main position. Come off season expiring players, on non rookie deal, are eligible to be franchise tagged at the value for their position at the GM's discretion- between 1-4 years (with years 3-4 team options).
