The NFL deals with a hard cap, which means that teams have to stay under the designated dollar number, or else ‘pay the price’ with fines and/or loss of draft picks. One aspect of the NFL salary debacle that is different than all of the other American sport’s caps is the Franchise Tag. The Franchise Tag is defined as a designation that teams may apply to one player on their roster who would have otherwise b ...

With football season two months away, its time to start looking at where players rank among their positions, and let the debates begin on who is better than who. Check to see where your favorite player ranks in the NFL (unless you’re a redskins fan, then you may want to avoid these lists). First up are the top 20 Quarterbacks in the NFL: 20.
