QB Matt Schaub The only reason the Texans haven’t extended Schaub yet is because they want him to prove he can stay healthy, after missing 5+ games in 3 of the last 5 seasons. If he does that this year, he’ll definitely get the tag. A healthy Schaub could lead…

OLB Dwight Freeney Dwight Freeney has been one of the best pass rushers in the league over the past decade or so, but, heading into his age 33 season in 2013, the Colts will be wary about committing too much to him long term. If he continues to produce in…

MLB Rey Maualuga Maualuga is a good linebacker, but the linebacker franchise tag value (8.8 million in 2012) is inflated by the salaries of rush linebackers and thus non-rush linebackers rarely get tagged. After an offseason in which Curtis Lofton, Stephen Tulloch, and David Hawthorne got 27.5 million, 25.5 million,…

P Reggie Hodges Punters and kickers are the most often franchised because the franchise tag values for them are very cheap and franchising them makes a lot more sense than giving them a long term deal. However, Hodges missed the entirety of the 2011 season with an Achilles tear and…

RB Reggie Bush The franchise tag value for running backs was only 7.7 million in 2012 and if Reggie Bush has another season like he just had, (216 carries for 1086 yards and 6 touchdowns with another 43 catches for 296 yards and another score), he’d be worth that. Heading…
