In talking to Stan, he mentioned any proposed rule change may only take effect in 2006 and possibly 2007 based on coding issues.
Proposed Changes to Franchise Tag for 2006 Calendar Year
We have suggested EFS change the rules for the Franchise Tag to mimick the rules in-place or used by the NFL. After all, the goal of our dynasty league is to closely replicate the nuances of managing a real NFL team.
As in the NFL, placing the franchise tag on any player automatically ensures his salary is HIGHEST COMPUTED VALUE of the average salary of the top 5 players at their respective position or a 20% raise.
NOTE: Removing the franchise tag from the player information screen will result in the automatic waiving of the player and he will go directly into UFA. If you wish to remove the franchise tag use one of the examples above to remove the tag without risking the automatic waiving of the player.
NOTE: Be sure the player will not have a zero year contract at the beginning of the new year or you will have to wait until after RFA is over to re-assign the tag.
Designating the Franchise Player
To designate a player as the franchise player, click on the player’s name from the rosters’ screen. On the
player information screen under franchise player change the field from an ‘N" to a ‘Y’. Hit the submit button and confirm the "are you sure" box. You have now assigned the franchise tag. The roster screen will have the player’s name and salary highlighted to indicate he is your franchise player.
