Keeping the options simple yes or no but do feel free to comment if there is a different proposal you want to toss I am all ears. Original poll and discussion was useful and and there was some favor to start only in 2022 off season, but I think because we still have plenty of time I'd rather see this take into effect this year should there be enough support and give the immediate option to everyone (Looking at current FA crop, I could see a couple teams using it this offseason). There was also objections so I hope we can get close to full feedback at least on the vote and hopefully make decision one way or another. Mid/late July right around real life playoffs ending is tentative goal to make decision.
Current regular franchise tag is here for reference:
http://www.profsl.com/smf/index.php?topic=376222.0Refresher of the exact proposal and breakdown below:
Proposed Tier 2 Franchise Tag (50% of regular tag)We allow a 2nd tag based on player's primary position that is exactly 50% of regular tag, with the catch that player must be outside of top 10 for the specific position based on Fantrax ranks last 2 seasons. We use sportac.com as our source of truth for primary position and this is also taken into account for picking the Fantrax position, so there is no overlap on any potions. FA have been updated on spreadsheet and you can check for the primary position on players, but also good to double check sportac in case there is discrepancy.
Very simply put a non RFA player ranked top 10 and expiring is eligible to be kept at existing tag any given off season. Same idea but for anyone ranked 11 or greater can be kept at discount tag as show below for current values.PG Value: $16.1mSG Value: $14.7mSF Value: $12.0mPF Value: $12.8mC Value: $13.0mWe now have full season of data for this year to use so here is how things look. Just to quickly add context italicized guys are those who appear both years but as long as they are top 10 in 1 of the past 2 years they are inelgible for 2nd tag. Players ranking 11-15 also added just to add more context as they would be eligible.
