I think the league should get rid of the franchise tag. Teams have to use it to not be at a disadvantage, but it causes so much bad blood. Get rid of it and its still a level playing field.

RBs in particular get screwed by the tag.
The tag helps the majority of players who aren’t franchise quality because it helps keep the stars from eating up all the cap.
