Earlier today it was announced on Twitter that the NFL has extended the deadline for the 2020 franchise tags. NFL teams will have an extra four days to decide whether they want to apply their franchise tag.
The original deadline was set for Thursday (March 12) at 4 p.m. ET. It has now been bumped back to Monday (March 16) at 11:59 p.m. ET. The shift was caused by team owners who wanted to know the fate of the NFL’s collective bargaining agreement (CBA) extension. The CBA is set to be voted on Saturday (March 14).
