Which is used on an UNRESTRICTED Free Agent. Turner is a RESTRICTED free agent.A franchise tag can be placed on 1 player per year who is an unrestricted free agent. When the player signs the contract, 100% of the money is guaranteed. (Charles Woodson a few years ago was franchised because the team wanted to trade him, but he signed it immediately and wasn't able to be traded because no one could afford a 10+ million dollar contract under their cap.If a team wants to franchise the same player multiple years in a row, the money goes up and up and up for the player. When a player is franchised they get either the average salary of the top 5 players at his position in the NFL or 120% of the last year's salary, whichever is higher.

That's exactly what Betts is, an average RB who looks good because of the system he is in, plus having his 6 week span where he averaged 26 carries a game allowed him to complile yards due to an extremely high workload.
