ESPN's John Clayton suggests that the Bears' flurry of Monday cuts is a "strong" sign that they're planning to franchise Bernard Berrian.

The three cuts the Bears made saved $10.4 million in cap room and it'd cost $7.848 million to tag Berrian.

what's a non-exclusive tag?

[reese125]

Dansby has been offered a one-year deal worth just over $8 million, and the Cardinals can continue to negotiate a long-term deal through July 15.
He must be offered a one year deal with a salary equal to or greater than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position in the previous year, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary

Two types of franchise tags:

"Exclusive Tag" - a player that is slapped with an Exclusive Franchise Tag must be offered a one year deal with a salary equal to or greater than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position as of the current year in which the tag will apply. Or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary. Exclusive franchise players cannot negotiate with other teams.

"Non-Exclusive Tag" - a Non-Exclusive Tagged, player must be offered a one year deal with a salary equal to or greater than the average of the top five salaries at the player's position in the previous year, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary. A Non-Exclusive franchise player may negotiate with other NFL teams, but if he signs an offer sheet from another team, the original team has a right to match the deal, but if the team does not match, and let's the player go, they will receive two first-round draft picks as compensation.

Raiders named CB Nnamdi Asomugha their franchise player.

A lot of tags being handed out.

Good thread, nice to have this info in one place.

[NGM]

So a non-exclusive tag essentially makes the player a restricted free agent?
