  1. All Offensive linemen are in the same category for Franchise Tag purposes, so it doesn't matter what the top Guards get paid. The tag is based on the top paid OL, which are all Left Tackles and the number will be about $13m or more iirc. So any notion of franchising KO is silly.

    They're going to use the Tag on Tucker if he doesn't agree to a long term deal by then. No other use of the Franchise tag makes sense. The Kicker Tag will be about $4.5m, which is around the annual value of the deal he's going to get anyway (look at Gostkowski deal from last year as a likely model) so the only disadvantage is that they can't use a signing bonus to push the cap money into future years, which the ravens should probably get away from doing anyway given the perpetual cap crises from pushing the cap money to future years. At some point they gotta pay the piper.
