Franchise tag window

[gmf1369]

I haven’t heard much about the tag this year even though there could be some serious free agency ramifications stemming from decisions made over the next few weeks.

The deadline to tag a free agent is March 8 at 3:59 p.m.

Players who could get tagged that are worth watching include:

• Jesse Bates, S, Cincinnati Bengals
• Davante Adams, WR, Green Bay Packers
• Orlando Brown, LT, Kansas City Chiefs
• Dalton Schultz, TE, Dallas Cowboys

One random note: The franchise tag for offensive line talent remains one of the best deals in sports.

Projected totals for 2022 would still give teams, for example the Chiefs, a chance to lock up Orlando Brown for almost $10 million less than Trent Williams per year.

That’s astounding. While Brown will ultimately get a long-term deal, the Chiefs could take the season to figure out how they must retool their approach to maximize the early prime Patrick Mahomes window.

yeah but they have the tag if they can not come to an agreement, hearing they are far a part would take a miracle to get it done

you don't just fork over $$$ to any player, a team will negotiate to protect themselves long term. a player is always going to maximize their future $$$ but it is right if they don't come to a mutual agreement the team has the tag to place on said player.
