Based on the calculations of a $178 million salary cap, Albert Breer has projected the following franchise tags for 2018:
CB: $15.04 million
DE: $17.22 million
DT: $14.00 million
LB: $15.03 million
OL: $14.14 million
K/P: $4.96 million
QB: $23.29 million
RB: $11.90 million
S: $11.34 million
TE: $9.90 million
WR: $16.05 million
With Washington trading for Alex Smith, they are unlikely to tag Kirk Cousins, but Le'Veon Bell could receive it from the Steelers.
