Report: Buffalo Bills don’t expect to use franchise, transition tag this year

The Buffalo Bills have a few priority free agents that they would likely want back like Shaq Lawson, Jordan Phillips and Quinton Spain. However, if they are not able to reach a new deal with them the Bills don’t expect to use the franchise or transition tag on them, according to a report by Jay Skurski of The Buffalo News.

The franchise tag and transition tag are two tools NFL teams have to keep their top players from hitting free agency. However, there is a hefty price tag that comes with these moves as the franchise tag would be a one-year deal with a salary of the average of the Top 5 salaries at that position.
