aparrish Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Franchise cap figures have been announced for 2002. Players who have been slapped with the franchise tag are paid the average salary of the top 5 players at their positions, however, that figure is based salaries in 2001. This year's franchise figures are by position: QB - $7.4M; RB - $5.6M; WR - $4.3M; OL - $4.9M; TE - $2.3M; DE - $5.7M; DT - $5.0M; LB - $5.5M; CB - $4.5M; S - $3.3M; P/PK- $1.2M.

mardi gras skin Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Isn't Sam Shade's salary in the 3 mill. range? I don't think he's among the top 5 safties in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinhead Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Let's franchise Westbrooke but convert him to our punter first. None of our free agents are worth that kind of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Interesting.<br /><br />So this means that T Gonzalez is $2.3 million,Trotter is $5.5 million and Parella $5 million with the tag.<br /><br />I guess only Gonzalez gets slapped with the Franchise Tag.

Darth Tater Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Shade's salary for 2002 is 500K (of course incentives can make that different). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Parella? John Butler is not going to slap a franchise tag on a run stopper inside. <img border="0" title="" alt="[smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br /><br />Remember Marty ain't the Captain of the ship in SD, merely the first officer <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="tongue.gif" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rat_Boy Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Shade's base salary might be that low, but I don't think his total cap # is.<br /><br />I thought PC posted a while ago that Shade's cap # is close to 2 million, if not more this season. <br /><br />PC??

Darth Tater Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 Your right Rat_Boy, I think his total bonus was<br />$2.5M. Not sure how much is left to be amortized, 2/3s? Cap hit for 2002 would then be about 1.3M but we'd only save 500K by cutting him (of course, there's other considerations like reporting). I'm using Buddha's and the player association's #. I'd like some more analysis here because right now, it looks like he'll be our SS next year although if Mr Spurrier's offense works, we may be in a lot of nickle.

riggins44 Posted February 1, 2002 Share Posted February 1, 2002 I can't believe only $1.1 million difference<br />between P/PK and TE's. Must be either some <br />cheap TE's out there or high price kickers<br />and/or punters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
