question on franchise tags

If we are so intent on keeping either Williams or Jennings, is there a reason why we wouldnt use the franchise tag on one of the two? Does it come down to us not wanting to pay that much money? I dont know much about the tags, so please let me know.

It absolutely comes down to money. If you use the tag, you MUST pay the tagged player the average of the Top 5 paid players at that position.

 

In 2003, the Franchise Tender for a LT was over $7,000,000. For a DT, it was over $5,500,000.00. It's certainly higher now. Those hits go directly against your cap THIS season.
