The Franchise Tag is largely just a short term tool. The value of each position will still adjust back to the market rate. QBs contracts are skyrocketing and taking a bigger % of the salary cap.

I believe next year Kirk Cousin will be the first QB to get 30m per for roughly 18% of next year's salary cap. That really cuts into the contract dollars available for the other 52 players.
