The franchise player tag could be used by each franchise once per year (unless they already have a franchise player signed to a multiple year contract from a previous year), and a franchise cannot tag a player a franchise player if that player had been tagged the franchise player by that team in a previous year. Each team would have the opportunity to tag a player a franchise player prior to the start of the RFA period. The base salary for the franchise player would be based on the average of the top 5 players at that players position from the previous year. For reference, the 2003 figures of the top 5 players are:

Quarterbacks: 1162
Running Backs: 2502
Wide Receivers: 2104
Tight Ends: 502
Kickers: 189
Defense: 235

These figures would be adjust each off season prior to the Franchise Tag Designation Period and would be based on the previous years’ salaries.

Franchise players signed to multiple year contracts would have their salaries increase 20% per year instead of the standard 10%.

As stated before, once the contract for the Franchise player expires, that player cannot be designated the franchise player for that franchise again.
