How much is the NFL franchise tag? The value of the exclusive franchise tag is the average of the top five salaries at the player's position for the current year or 120% of his previous salary (whichever is greater). These numbers aren't available until after restricted free agency ends.March5, 2024 In 2024, the transition tag price for an NFL quarterback is $34,367,000: The transition tag is a one-year tender offer that's based on the average of the 10 highest-paid players at a given position over the previous five seasons. The tagging team has the right to match any offer a player receives from another team, but if they don't, the player can leave and the tagging team receives no compensation. This makes the transition tag less commonly used than other options. I, personally, a hoping that JJM makes a full recovery, and plays very well, going forward on his rookie contract. Darnold, if he continues to show that he has found his NFL caliber groove, through the rest of this season, will either be offered a decent contract of 1 - 2 years length as we transition from him to JJM. If he is in line for a true starting caliber QB contract, based solely on success in the KOC system, backstopped, by BFlo’s smothering defense, then I hope we try to work something out, that keeps the success rolling, until JJM gets his full blown shot, to prove he was drafted to be our QBOTF.. I LIKE JJM. He is mobile , seems pretty football savvy and takes coaching well. But he could be a Christian Ponder, or worse, a KFC. I am happy with Darnold, so far, how can anyone not be? But if he “ reverts to his mean”, he can take a hike and I won’t miss him, or the 10’s of Millions per season his agent will be fishing for. If Darnold can pull a freaking Rabbit out of his hat for 20 games and we FINALLY win a Super Bowl. My concern and angst will evaporate like spit on a July sidewalk in Arizona, and what ever this team does, past that point, will be simply icing on a cake that I will eat and enjoy for the rest of my life. I have been a diehard fan of this team for 57 years.. Just one, before I die, is a smaller and smaller window, every year.

Dan, More Ice from hell....I have enjoyed watching the team so far. Everyone talks QBs but both sides of the ball are contributing for the first time in a long time.....as good as Zimmer's defense was it didn't have this 4 man pass rush as Zim used the blitz so much. This defense reminds me of Doleman and Millard/Purple People Defenses but in a different way as those defenses did have some weaknesses that were exposed at times but Flores seems to scheme to the offenses weaknesses depending which team he is facing by the position flexibility of the roster. This defense has been beyond entertaining. I remember the teams were we had 3-4 guys making all the plays. That also puts less pressure on our QB....

It's cool to wonder what guy is going to make the next big play on defense. I've been a fan since the 80s and it reminds me of the Doleman, Millard, Thomas, Noga, Browner, Lee defenses where it seemed like a different guy was making a play constantly. I'm sure enjoying seeing them come together like this. I just hope we keep it up!

Options as I see it: A. We could resign him to another one year deal. Darnold then could put more good play on film and then hit FA. This is not out of the question because Darnold will realize this HC and with these weapons is a good situation. B. Franchise him and sell him to the highest bidder. For this to be an option Darnold will have to continue his steller play and win a playoff game. The only downfall to this option is that we would tie up 50+ml to begin the FA period and will miss out on the first wave.

KOC picked JJM. KOC believes he can mold him. KOC has done a pretty remarkable job with Darnold (and others). Unless we hoist the trophy. Darnold isn't going to be resigned. (it's a bit of a shame... with Vikes FA money next year it's unlikely a comp pick for Darnold won't be offset... probably not going to get any return) jmo

Probably right. I’m eager for JJM to get it going. I think there’s a point shy of winning the SB you have to want more than a very green guy..

Bill Johanesen -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/27/2024 9:05:37 AM)
From Pro Football Network: Franchise tags are fully guaranteed. As soon as the player signs the tender, his one-year salary cannot be rescinded, even if he’s traded. So before the ink on the offer is dry, we could be on the hook for about $40 million, uncertain as to the outcome, while JJM rots. The only way Darnold gets that bag is if the Vikes win the SB. Like Dan brought up, after that I don't care. They can give him ownership of the team. The first player/owner. HC too for that matter.

Will show whether they can stop a power run game (with Willis also being able to keep it and run). Seems like we were getting gashed by Mason until SF went away from it.

Daniel Lee Young -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/27/2024 12:25:42 PM)
All that we need this team to do is put the puke in a hole, behind the sticks and the scoreboard and their running game wil evaporate.. I have faith that the defense will rise to the occ.. nothing motivates like puker green and piss yellow.. We beat them at lambs blow last October, before our QB situation turned into a shit show. I don’t see that happening. Doubters gotta doubt. I am choosing to be positive.. it’s the only thing carrying e along this month.

Todd M -> RE: General Vikes Talk (9/27/2024 12:55:10 PM)
We shouldn’t really have a problem this week. GB has beat a couple weaker teams and Willis isn’t anything for this Defense to worry about. Keep it clean on TO’s and roll…. 36-13
