Question about Franchise Tag
 

I suppose I could fire up Madden 12 and find the answer to this question, but simply out of anticipation for 13 I will restrain myself.

If you Franchise Tag a player tag and he is set to earn, lets say 7 million for the upcoming season, am I still able to trade him? Will that result in a cap penalty the following year? Is that 7 million guaranteed?

If I cut him, would I still have to pay the 7 million? If I trade him do I have to pay the 7 million, or does the other team?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't believe a player under the franchise tag has any bonus, so there should never be a trade penalty.

You're in the clear if you cut/trade him under the tag, plus you save the hefty price.
