The NFL’s franchise tag and how teams choose to use it has been evolving over the last several years. In 2018, Jarvis Landry was surrounded by trade and holdout rumors prior to signing his franchise tag with the Miami Dolphins, but ultimately reversed course and signed his tag by the deadline ... only so that he could be traded to the Cleveland Browns, a team that was willing to pay him what he wanted.
In exchange for temporarily hanging onto his services before dealing him to the Browns, the Dolphins received fourth and seventh round draft picks.
