If we were to get stuck with the prospects of paying Flynn $14M, it's a big problem. If you rescind the tag, you just wasted your tag for nothing and Flynn goes on to sign with whomever he pleases anyway. Completely different situation with different risks. If I'm the GM of another team and I'm looking to sign Flynn and TT tags him, I'm going to sit tight and call Ted's bluff until he rescinds the tag. Then when TT decides he's not going to pay Flynn $14M just to have him leave the following year, I'll sign Flynn as my QB and keep my draft picks. If Flynn wants to sign for more money with another team, it's not the end of the world. And that's why a tag and trade won't work with Flynn. The only way a tag and trade with Flynn could work is if say the Dolphins call up Ted and say, "Look, I really want Flynn for my QB, but I'm really worried he's going to sign with the Browns. If you'll franchise him and trade him to us, I'll give you 3 draft picks." I don't see anyone doing that though.  I doubt there are any GMs out there saying "I've GOT to have Flynn!"</blockquote>
