Actually, I don't think its fair at all. It opens the whole franchise process up to there being more designations and causing player salaries to jump more.
Next, we are going to see the OLBs wanting a different designation than the ILB/MLBs. And we're going to see OTs wanting ones different than Guards and Centers.
By the rules, the Ravens should have designated Suggs as a DE. The fact that they didn't means that they were the ones violating the rules. The league should have stepped in and said "Sorry. He played more at DE than at OLB" and therefore is a DE franchise designation. It never should have reached this point.
This is a loss for the league.
