Summarize your bug Final re-signing stage, owners are able to offer franchise tags that cost more than the team has in available cap space. This frequently results in teams starting the next off-season with significant negative cap space. Furthermore, because of how franchise tag contract is written, cutting that player only remove half of the cap impact.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1. Build a team with very little remaining cap space 2. Franchise tag any player (ideally at an expensive position like QB) 3. Look at cap space in next year (will be deep into the negative)
What happens when the bug occurs? Team ends up with massive negative cap space that is difficult/impossible to recover next year.
What do you expect to see? Owners should be blocked from franchise tagging a player when they cannot afford the Franchise Tag contract.
