Arbitration Players who sign long term contract

[Deleted]

How are we handling Arbitration Eligible Players who sign long term contract.

Last year before the season I selected Josh Harrison who was on his first year of arbitration eligibility. Then on April 8th, he signed a four-year, $27.3 million contract extension. Do I have to use a franchise tag, or do I just get his long term extension?

Josh Harrison should have been PP2015 when you selected him. You either release him to free agency or can place a tag on him. A restrict tag lets you match this leagues winning bid or receive compensation. If you franchise tag him you will get his new contract along with all team options.

Okay, thanks!
