The franchise tag was actually designed specifically for QBs, but now teams use it for any positional player they want to trap for a year without a long-term deal. It's good, guaranteed money for the player but very high risk if they get hurt while tagged. No risk for the team other than a year of cash.

I didnt say players who were tagged - i said good QBs who actually played under the tag. Vick, Brees, and Cassel both got new deals without actually playing under the tag. My point was that teams always seem to workout a long-term deal with a franchise quarterback before the season starts.
