This is my thinking. Obviously the tag is an overpay for Onwenu. But it’s better than overpaying him immediately on a long term contract.I think it might be wise to tag Owenhu with the idea of using that to work toward a long-term deal. He's the kind of guy who offers a lot of flexibility of position and is the homegrown talent we should be rewarding.
You have excess funds this year, tagging him won’t prevent you from making plenty of other moves in the market by any stretch. Either let Onwenu play on the tag and see if he plays at a level worth an extension, or see if we have confidence in a rookie draft pick this year replacing him in 25.
