Some more CBA stuff for those interested:
Teams will have three tags to use to restrict free agents. Currently, a team can use either a franchise tag (average of the top five salaries at a position) or a transition tag (average of the top ten salaries at a position) on any one player on the club to protect the team from losing the unrestricted free agent. If the NFL has an uncapped year in 2010, teams will have use of one franchise tag and two transition tags. So the top three players who are eligible for free agency on a roster can be protected.

In 2009, the figure for franchising a LB was $8.3 million. I agree with Porky's evaluation of Kampy in this system, but even if you don't, you have to ask yourself if Kampy is worth that kind of money - especially given the other guys on the team who are hitting free agency or are due for a new deal.
