I am think for a little more we can get Peppers if Carolina chooses not to sign him. Why are we the only team that never franchises anyone?

well gtripps answer is more accurate but i also think its b/c we dont have anyone worth franchising as none of our players are top 5 at their respective positions. honestly do we have a top 5 player at their position?

man i just depressed myself . .

I would say Landry at safety is top 5 on defense, on offense Cooley and Portis - but all these guys are signed long term so the franchise tag is not going to be used for a while but I would say if Jason Campbell goes next year without an extension and plays ok I would think the Skins would at least use a transition tag for some protection. If Campbell plays lights out and is deemed the future Redskins qb for the next 5-7 years the Skins will try to extend him but if they can't sign him they would franchise him because good qbs are too hard to find and teams are willing to give 2 first rounders for a great qb.

Interesting thought.
I think franchising at least used to alienate the player, and I think Dan and the Skins want to be player friendly, and therefore try not to let a contract get to that point. Of course they also let people leave if they don't want to pay the going rate, Dockery and Pierce come to mind on that one.
