Predicting which of the New Orleans Saints pending UFA's gets the franchise tag.
Who gets the tag? Short answer: no one.
To arrive at this answer, we need to first understand how the franchise tag process works in the NFL. For a detailed explanation, click here. To put it simply: when a team and pending free agent cannot agree on a potential long-term deal, the team can use its one "franchise tag" to sign the player to a mandatory one-year contract. The salary of the one-year contract for that player is calculated averaging the top five players at that position, or set at 120% of that player’s previous year’s salary – whichever is higher.
