I think FA could be more exciting if some of the other things that come with tagging were in play.

The franchise tag does not keep a player from leaving, it just makes it more costly.

Franchise players can not negotiate salary after a certain point in FA until some other point in FA. I think the NFL rule actually allows for negotiation, if the team is will to give up the tag for the durtation of the contract, but that never comes into play.

The transition tag would be nice and would make some talented players more accessible.

I would be on board with fewer FA rounds.
