I'm going to do some searching but i thought they could only franchise 1 year. I'm not sure though.

I think that's only if there is a special clause added, which happens in some cases (like Haynesworth).
Practically speaking though, Franchising a player makes very highly paid. Franchising him the second straight year means that he is going to be given a 120% increase in his salary.
So if Nandi made 8 million last year, being Franchised again means he'd be making 17.6 million the next year. That is realistically way too big of a cap hit, but I don't think Al would be too bothered about that when he's got a player like Nandi being Franchised.
So for practical purposes, it's way too much of a hit to apply the Franchise tag two years in a row, but there is no set rule against it.
