According to Albert Breer of NFL Network, the various franchise tags are as follows:

Quarterback: $16.912 million.

Running back: $9.54 million.

Tight end: $7.035 million.

Linebacker: $11.455 million.

Cornerback: $11.834 million.

Safety: $8.433 million.

So far, three tags have been applied. Panthers defensive end Greg Hardy will be entitled to a one-year salary of $13.116 million. Jets kicker Nick Folk will be eligible for a one-year, $3.556 million deal.

As to Saints tight end Jimmy Graham, he’ll either get $7.035 million as a tight end or $12.312 million as a receiver.

Jimmy Graham is going to pave the way as how players are designated.

He flat out said that if the Saints designate him as TE, and try to pay him as such, he was going to file a grievance.
