I’d have a hard time franchising him at that number even though I love mf’er. I think you got to try to sign him

I agree with you. 18 million is steep for an interior. I'd also like to know how often a franchise tag applied leads to a player resigning with the team afterwards. I couldn't find data on that. I know players tend hate it so it strikes me as a death sentence for a players tenure with a team.
My guess is Ron will give Payne a solid offer, if he rejects that then we will know where Payne's intentions are.
