When a player is assigned a franchise tag for a second consecutive year, what is the maximum percentage of the salary that a contract advisor can charge?

When a player receives a franchise tag for a second consecutive year, the contract advisor is limited in the percentage they can charge based on the terms outlined in the NFL's collective bargaining agreement. Specifically, contract advisors can charge a maximum of 1.5% of the player's salary in such cases.

This rule is in place to ensure that players retain a fair portion of their earnings, particularly during negotiations that involve franchise tags, which can often limit their free agency options. The franchise tag signs the player to a one-year contract at a salary that is either the average of the top five salaries at the player's position or a specific percentage increase over the previous year’s salary, depending on which is greater.

The other percentages listed do not apply in these situations, as they either exceed the set maximum for franchise players or apply to different contract scenarios. For example, those higher percentages might be relevant for standard contract negotiations in other circumstances but are capped for franchise-tagged players to protect their interests.
