Will Ravens Use Franchise Tag On Any Free Agents This Year?
The window to designate franchise or transition tags to impending free agents opens Wednesday (Feb. 15-March 1), but don’t expect the Ravens to jump into the action.
Baltimore has a history of using the franchise tag, usually as a way to buy more time for contract negotiations. The Ravens did it last year with kicker Justin Tucker, and in previous years with cornerback Chris McAlister, linebacker Terrell Suggs, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and running back Ray Rice.
Will they use that tactic again this year?
