Calculating Salaries for Tagged Players
Posted: Sun Jan 22, 2017 8:53 am
I just want to throw an idea out there.
Currently, the salaries used for tagging are calculated using the top 3, 10, and 20 salaries of players on a roster on week 13 of the previous season. Players with 1 year contracts in the previous season are also used when determining these salaries.
I suggest that we should wait until February 1st, when the new season begins to calculate tag salaries for the upcoming seasons. That would mean that all players who only had 1 contract year in the previous season would have zero years and technically are no longer rostered in the new season. Players eligible for tagging would also have zero contract years on Feb. 1st and would not be included in calculating tag salaries.
This year for example, the salaries of players whose contracts will expire and players that have been dropped after week 13 of last year are included in the calculation. I propose that we exclude the previous years salaries of all players who will become free agents when the new season begins.
In order to keep track of the salaries of upcoming free agents, we can post a list of all players who are eligible to be tagged, with their salary in the previous season and the name of the team that holds the rights to tag them.

Ingram, Mark NOS RB $5,671,931
Jeffery, Alshon CHI WR $1,281,087
What do you think?
