No, The franchise tag is the average of the top 5 salaries for that position or a % raise(don't remeber the exact %) over the players last year salart, whichever is higher. I might not have that 100% correct, but the franchise tag amount is set by the CBA. It's nothing the Texans have control over.

They can agree to a higher amount and they can agree to clauses like Haynesworth got.

But the Texans do not have to agree to anything more than the CBA states.

I knew they could add riders, like the pro bowl for Haynesworth, but I didn't realize they could go over the franchise amount...although as long as they paid the minimum I guess that makes sense. I just didn't realize it was an option.
