Most players reportedly hate the franchise tag, so you could be setting up a hard feelings negotiation where after the tags are done he wants to go somewhere else. My guess is that if we tag him, it would need to be done in the context of trying to get a long term deal done.

Kirk would get over his feelings being hurt (if we tagged him), being that we are the team that drafted him, started him, and paid him $19 million.

Would the cap implications just completely remove that off the table? Seems to me we would be okay, and that it's a viable, if not likely, option.
