If a player is traded, the franchise tag is basically null. The franchise tag applies only to free agency.
However, if a team went through the effort and expense of putting the franchise tag on a player (paying that player the average of the top 5 salaries at the player's position), the possibility of them trading that player is highly unlikely.

The franchise player for the Toronto Raptors is Chris Bosh. He was given this role when Vince Carter had left the Raptors. He was named franchise player after his rookie season.
Create the player and set your position and stats, most important choose a team. If you don't he will be on the free agents list. Save your player and then go to the depth chart to make sure he is a starter. Once confirmed go into a game and he should be there... If you want to use him on a team in Franchise make sure you save your player/roster prior to starting a franchise. Once you start your franchise you select your team (if this is a new franchise your player should be on that team).

Their starting quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.
Once they have signed a contract or the player received a franchise tag
Um they should be on whatever team you put the created player on franchise or not. They might not be starting so you might have to go to depth chart and put them as a starter
