Jason Cole article: Brees - 3rd Franchise Tag? CBA Wording

This seems to be the relevant language in the CBA:



The question here is does this language indicate that the same club made all three tags, or does it just mean the club happened to be the team that placed that player's third tag. I don't know the answer to that question...

It seems straightforward to me by the language that it's not meant to be the same Club. But can any Franchise designations made during the prior CBA be carried-forward to this CBA? That may be more of what Condon is after. Is there anything in the CBA about these designations being carried-forward?
