Dean Spanos Diaries: Franchise Tag Edition

Dear Diary,

Thank goodness this 'Franchise Tag' nonsense is done with for another year. The idea of it is enough to make me break out into a cold sweat at night. I feel quite ill just writing about it. I think I need to take some Aspirin to calm myself down. Only one, though. Can't be wasteful - those things cost money!

Tom Telesco convinced me to franchise tag Melvin Ingram. That's all well and good, but he's not the one having to pay over $16 million upfront!
