Not an 'it' player? Don't tag
There is a time and a place to use the franchise tag.
But there also is a time and place to keep the franchise tag in your back pocket.

Jockstrip: The world as we know it.
ATLANTA, Nov. 15 (UPI) -- A disabled Georgia man faces drunken driving charges after police stopped him for driving his motorized scooter on the wrong side of the road.
Bob Pruett's defense apparently is that his motorized scooter is a wheelchair, not a vehicle. He said that if anything, he should have been charged with public drunkenness, WSB-TV in Atlanta reported Wednesday.
Dawson County investigators said Pruett, who has cerebral palsy and has no use of his legs, was on his scooter on the wrong side of the road with a 12-pack of beer in his cart. His blood-alcohol level allegedly registered .125.
Pruett's attorney said wheelchairs weren't intended to be covered under the state's motor vehicle code.
