Good move.

Now you can draft your safety or corner in the first round & let Cryan Clark go play for Denver!!!

First of all, they will negotiate a longer term deal, rather than pay the franchise moeny, but....
This means 4-5 more years of limp-dicked Kickoffs that land at the 15 yard line with no hang time.
My first thought was... OMG!!! we are emulating the Bungles by franchising our kicker.
