Franchise tag salaries for 2008

Consider this picture a postcard. It's from my hotel room window in Indianapolis, where we're covering the NFL Combine.

Sitting here in the media room near the RCA Dome waiting for different players, I decided to take a quick look at the money situation around the league to throw together a list of salaries for players that have received the franchise tag. In the last couple of days, a few teams have applied that tag to hold on to their impact players. Here's a look at how much those guys are worth. Keep in mind, a player that receives the franchise tag is guaranteed a one-year salary of the 10 highest-paid players at their position.

Quarterback - $10.73 million

CB - $9.465

DE - $8.879

LB - $8.065

WR - $7.848

OL - $7.455

DT - $6.363

RB - $6.538

TE - $4.522

S - $4.396

K/P - $2.514

Stay tuned for more from the combine. The day is kind of just getting underway. So there should be more info coming.
