Dolphins should be able to have a decent run game with Lamar Miller, Ingram and Gillislee. Now I just have to get an oline, Pouncey's my only starter there.

[Dubs]

when are we starting FA? 

[NFLfan123]

Are we allowed to change/swap out franchise players? haha

You're allowed to lift the tag off people in the NFL... I assume I'm allowed to Franchise People again.

Yeah I mean, just curious.  I honestly have no clue.

Up until the deadline it's fine.

[ClintLB8]

RB Chris Johnson is still on the block.. not looking for a ridiculous amount for him.

[rmw10]

Oh cool.  So, hypothetically, if I wanted to swap out the already franchised TJ Ward for Alex Mack instead, I could do that?

I would for sure do that... Mack is gonna get some serious bids in FA.

That's what I was thinking.  I'd love to keep my line intact, and while Ward is good, SS are fairly replaceable.

Take Ward out and that secondary get's a lot worse though...

Despite their complete lack of depth, their secondary isn't too bad.  Haden is a star.  Gipson was kind of an unsung hero.  While Skrine is best as a 3rd CB, he's pretty good as well.

Great move tagging Bennett. I was gonna make a run at him with my limited cap.

[The Oakland Cathedral]

Can you trade someone on the tag?

11 stars is a lot. It's funny that two teams with arguably the most DL depth have spent exorbitant amounts on Franchise tagging DEs.

Agreed, I don't see the point in tagging Bennett. I doubt he would have gone for 11 stars in FA

[gabefergy]

Michael Johnson is 13 stars for that last trade.

[gabefergy]

Yup.

[Alexir]

Michael Johnson is 13 stars for that last trade.

 

How? 

[gabefergy]

How?

2nd year in a row franchise tagged.

[The Oakland Cathedral]

I would've gone close to that for him. He was the most productive and consistent pass rusher for the Seahawks all year

[Mt. Crushmore]

Gabe is right on the Johnson tag number BTW.

[Alexir]

2nd year in a row franchise tagged.

 

No where in the rules is that said. It clearly says Defensive End, 11 stars. Not in the rules, not gonna pay it.

That is true. You never know with free agency.

It'd a common sense rule and yes yea you have to pay it.

[Mt. Crushmore]

Any time a player is tagged for a second year in a row, it is 120% of what he made last year.  Therefore his cap number on the tag this year is 13.2 which gets rounded to 13 stars.

[Alexir]

Most of the rules up there are common sense, and this is a fantasy game so "common sense" doesn't really apply (hence extended cap and the June 1st rule we made for every team).

 

It wasn't in the rules.

That is the rule in the NFL, but why is it not on the rule page?
