Neither Kenny Stills nor Andre Branch worth franchise tag, but what about transition tag?
Wednesday is the first day NFL teams can designate any of their pending free agents with either franchise or transition tags so let’s get this out of the way quickly: Neither wide receiver Kenny Stills nor defensive end Andre Branch is candidates to get the franchise tag.
No disrespect, but that tag and the mega-money that it carries is typically reserved for players (and some kickers) of a certain orbit. Von Miller was tagged by Denver two years ago while the New York Giants tagged Jason Pierre-Paul, thinking he still had all his fingers. Eric Berry has been tagged. Muhammad Wilkerson has been tagged.
These are typically foundational players. And with that foundation, teams invest a significant chunk of their projected salary cap.
Although the tender figures are not yet available because they are based on a percentage of the cap for a position or 120 percent of a player’s salary (whichever is highest) this is mostly an approximation exercise at this point. But that exercise can help you understand why the Dolphins aren’t likely to use the franchise tag on either of their two most prominent free agents.
Andre Branch Injury
Branch has dealt with a handful of knee issues over the course of the season and is seemingly dealing with another knee injury at the moment. His absence from practice suggests there’s still ground to be made up before he convinces the medical staff that he’s good to go for Sunday’s game. If he can’t go, Jonathan Woodard could see a small uptick in playing time.
Andre Branch Cardinals
On July 30, 2019, Branch signed a one-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals after visiting earlier in June.
