He has the choice to not sign. That is an equally bad choice for both parties in this case. Then it becomes who flinches first. Why build the ill will?

If you don't believe in something, then you believe in nothing. If the Colts don't believe in Jones, then move on. If they do then sign the dude to the contract that is his market value.

Bottom line I do not see Carlie approving of franchising.

If he's franchised and doesn't sign it, he must sit out the whole year. He can't just sign with another team, that's the purpose of the franchise tag. His salary for the one franchise year would be in excess of 40 million, it just wouldn't be for multiple years.
