the franchise tag gets costly when it is used on the same player yearly. the player gets something like an 8-10% increase in salary from his previous year when he is franchised consecutively. I think Pace would get something like a 10% bump from whatever he made last year, which was the high to begin with.
for the Rams, Faulk, Bruce, Turley, and kicker Jeff Wilkens take up about $17 million in salary alone. Add to that starting safety Aeneas Williams and Starting guard Tom Nutten are UFA's, with Pace's salary, the rams are going tohave a mess on their hands.
