It is being reported (by Tony Pauline) that the Colts may have to use to franchise tag on Danie Jones as he apparently wants more money than the Colts thought he would. Means they won't have it for Pierce if true. Franchise tag for QBs will be from 44 to 47 million. All of it is guaranteed.

Franchise tag for QBs will be 43.9 million.

Once the cap is set in stone, the franchise and transition tag values can be calculated.

That was purely speculation. It's being said that prior to his injury, Ballard was planning to use the tag on Jones. I applaud that strategy. Now, I would think a lower contract that is full of incentives should be what is fair to both sides. If Jones plays and is kick ass good, he gets a boat load. If he shits the bed, he does not.
