I know the Owners and the Union are supposed to be going to redo their deal next season. Has there been any mention of getting rid of that tag? Players hate it and all it really seems to do is cause animosity between player and team for a year and they'll agree to play that year in return of not being tag the following year and leave anyway most of the time.
I know it's suppose to protect teams in losing their big name players, but heck re-sign them before free agency starts instead of having a potential long dragged out contract negotiation that could last forever. Add to the fact that once tagged, no team will even bother to trade two #1 picks for said player. At least lessen it to one #1 pick with a team's right to match the offer.
If they got rid of it, free agency would be so much interesting. Before it even has begun the franchise tag has taken a lot of fun out of what looked like a very exciting free agency period.
