2 Mil is a lot, especially if you're stuck with a 1 year contract either way and you're a RB. IMO rookie contracts and franchise tags are total jokes anyways. Franchise tags in particular seem totally disrespectful.

I’m not sure it’s worth that now he can still be tagged two years in a row, unless I’m misunderstanding how this works. If he had signed the tag, they could only tag him one more time.
Google is telling me it's 3 times. But either way, if they franchise tag him next year, it will be 120% of his 12Mil instead of 120% of 10.1Mil if he was tagged this year. I.E. negotiating this year will get him an extra 2.3Mil if he is franchise tagged next year.
So I looked into it further and didn’t realize the 120% of the previous salary was an option, I thought it was always the average of the top 5 salaries of their position.
So in that case, it does help a little.
As for how many tags you can put on, it looks like the 3rd time gets so expensive that it’s generally never used. But the fact that it’s 120% of the previous salary does make it pretty unlikely they’d tag him next year. That definitely makes this (and Barkley’s deal) make way more sense.
