This is a deal that was just agreed upon by both parties. There is no problem.

That is the way the situation works… but it is not a “problem”

Most teams, if they didn’t want to match, would take the two 1rsts and walk away, under the ‘non-exclusive’ tender. Don’t think it’s ever happened. Now that they also have to pay the player more under the ‘exclusive rights’ tag, I doubt many teams will use it unless they absolutely positively can’t lose the player(Brees). I’d be suprised if the texans did it with Williams.
———————————————————-
@thegadz:
Williams 2011 salary didn’t figure in the ave tender for the last 5 yrs because he wasn’t tendered during the last 5 yrs. If tendered non exclusively this yr, his number would effect next yr’s number. Since his exclusive rights number would be more than non exclusive, it would have more of an effect. Every yr players with big rookie contracts come to the end of their deals this will happen.

That number won’t be used when determining the franchise tender for outside linebackers in 2012.”

Without having read the CBA, I’m pretty sure that is not accurate. Please correct me if I’m wrong: Lets assume that the salary cap would be constant and let AVXX be the top-5 player average in year 20XX. Then

Tag2012 = (AV07 + AV08 + AV09 + AV10 + AV11)/5.

Seeing as the Mario Williams salary influences AV11, the number will be used for the calculation. Looking further, we have

Tag2013 = (AV08 + AV09 + AV10 + AV11 + AV12)/5,

so if the average in 2012 is greater than in 2007 (or, more accurately, the percentage of the salary cap is greater), the tag will grow faster than the salary cap.
