The Skins paid more than that to move up and get RG3. Is there that much Cap savings in the non exclusive tag?

*Edit- Once in the last decade and that was Matt Cassel whom the Pats didn't even want to keep just used him as trade bait.

I'm just curious to know when was the last time a team traded two first-round picks (or even one first rounder) for a player with the non-exclusive tag. Anyone know? I think Cassel was trader for a second rounder.

Cassel was traded, the Pats just put the tag on him to keep him from being a free agent. The only time I remember anyone giving up the picks to sign a franchise player was Dallas did it in 2000 for Joey Galloway. There might be others I just don't remember any.

It is rare at best, but like I said QBs are hardly ever given the non exclusive tag.

That was 2 first rounders, although I don't know how Franchise tags worked at that time.

Yes I'm sure things work differently back then,but two first rounders were a lot to give up, I don't remember anybody else doing it
