CJHunt 0 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 A team can designate any UFA as their franchise player. A franchised player gets paid the average of the top 5 players at their position on a 1 year contract. They can be signed away by another team at the cost of 2 1st round picks. Google would probably give a better answer but that is the jist of it. Link to post Share on other sites
