Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is one of the more insightful, and outspoken, players in the NFL these days so when he talks, people need to listen.
He’s no fan of the NFL’s “franchise tag,” of which Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus “Tank” Lawrence signed in the offseason.
In a recent entertaining and wide-ranging interview with The Ringer, Rodgers was made NFL Commissioner for a Day; in the interview, Rodgers said one of the first things he would do is eliminate the franchise tag.
Rodgers is dead on. No player should like the franchise tag.
