[QUOTE="Raptorman, post: 435225, member: 655"] Jack, you have to understand who has the negotiating rights with the franchise tag. If the player signs the tag, the team owns him. He has no say in which team he is traded to. The players only leverage at this point is his willingness to redo the one year $14 million contract. If the Player does not sign the tag, he can negotiate with any team he wishes, the caveat being that the new team would be willing to give up 2 first round picks or his old team being willing to negotiate a different set of draft picks. The reason the Packers would not be able to be aggressive in FA if they tag Flynn is if they are up against the cap. Players are not going to wait for the Packers to strike a deal on Flynn to free up money to sign them . Nice idea but in the real world not going to happen. Any amount tendered is counted against the cap right away. From what I understand on the new CBA is that teams are no longer allowed to go over the cap at any time during the league year. I don't see this as a big issue unless the Packers feel the need to resign some of their own current FA. [/QUOTE]
