It generally pisses me off that the franchise tag is viewed as a negative. Your salary is going to be insane for one year, and then you can get even more money the next year. The only negative is that you bear the risk for career threatening injury. But, since you've only been responsible for that during the entire rookie contract, I just don't get it.

Signing the tender is free money. And the agents recommend that the player not do it. It's nonsensical.
