The deadline for teams to tag players has come and gone. We now have a much clearer picture of some teams’ plans for the offseason. Find out if your team issued a tag and who they used it on.
Team | Player | Position | Notes/Comments |
Arizona Cardinals | No players tagged | N/A | |
Atlanta Falcons | No players tagged | N/A | |
Baltimore Ravens | Justin Tucker | K | Kickers often get the franchise tag to give clubs more time to evaluate the offseason before signing to long term deal. The Ravens are no different. Tucker would be highly compensated as a free agent and Baltimore will make sure he stays in town. |
Buffalo Bills | Cordy Glenn | T | Playing at left tackle, Glenn has showed he is worth the money and is a big part of the continued offensive growth in Buffalo |
Carolina Panthers | Josh Norman | CB | The potential best corner in the lead isn’t going anywhere. Both sides are working toward a long-term deal. |
Chicago Bears | Alshon Jeffery | WR | A very productive receier, Jeffery has struggled with injuries as of late and will need to prove his durability before he signs a big money contract as a #1 receiver. |
Cincinnati Bengals | No players tagged | N/A | |
Cleveland Browns | No players tagged | N/A | |
Dallas Cowboys | No players tagged | N/A | |
Denver Broncos | Von Miller | OLB | The Broncos placed the exclusive franchise tag on Miller. They are guarenteed 2 first round picks if he signs elsewhere and he cannot be traded. He is the first non-QB to get the exclusive tag since 2007. What will this mean for Brock Osweiler and Malik Jackson. |
Detroit Lions | No players tagged | N/A | |
Green Bay Packers | No players tagged | N/A | |
Houston Texans | No players tagged | N/A | |
Indianapolis Colts | No players tagged | N/A | |
Jacksonville Jaguars | No players tagged | N/A | |
Kansas City Chiefs | Eric Berry | S | Both sides are working on a long-term deal. This is simply to show he isn’t going anywhere. |
Los Angeles Rams | Trumaine Johnson | CB | This allows Janoris Jenkins, the other L.A. cornerback to hit free agency. He will likely demand top dollar. It’s possible L.A. believed Johnson would be easier to sign to a long-term deal than Jenkins. |
Miami Dolphins | Olivier Vernon | DE | Vernon was given the transition tag by the Dolphins. This means another team can sign him with the Dolphins able to match. However, Vernon just might get a big money contract that Miami simjply cannot afford to match. Miami would get no compensation for him in that case either. |
Minnesota Vikings | No players tagged | N/A | |
New England Patriots | No players tagged | N/A | |
New Orleans Saints | No players tagged | N/A | |
New York Giants | No players tagged | N/A | |
New York Jets | Muhammad Wilkerson | DE | A top 5 potential free agent, the Jets made sure that Wilkerson will be around at least one more season in New York. |
Oakland Raiders | No players tagged | N/A | |
Philadelphia Eagles | No players tagged | N/A | |
Pittsburgh Steelers | No players tagged | N/A | |
San Diego Chargers | No players tagged | N/A | |
San Francisgo 49ers | No players tagged | N/A | |
Seattle Seahawks | No players tagged | N/A | |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers | No players tagged | N/A | Doug Martin will probably be hitting free agency. His value should be high after finishing 2nd in rushing yards last season. |
Tennessee Titans | No players tagged | N/A | |
Washington Redskins | Kirk Cousins | QB | The only quarterback tagged this year, the Redskins want to see Cousins back up his breakout year and show he can be consistent before signing him to a long-term deal. |
