Cardinals Transition Tag Kenyan Drake
The Arizona Cardinals have placed the transition tag on former Crimson Tide running back Kenyan Drake.
The transition tag effectively allows Drake to test the free-agent market as usual with the caveat being the Cardinals can match any offer from other teams. Drake should see a nice payday once his market is played out, whether it's by the Cardinals or another squad.
Drake was sent to Arizona from Miami in a midseason trade. Drake took advantage, starting in eight games for the Cardinals and racking up 643 yards and eight touchdowns.
Spotrac estimates Drake's market value could see him earn $5.5M/per year on his next deal. The transition tag allows the Cardinals to see if the NFL market agrees and tender the offer based on the results.
