The NFL’s tag deadline day has come and gone with seven pending free agents no longer to hit the market as free. The Cleveland Browns, unsurprisingly, did not use a tag. NFL free agency saw a huge chunk taken out of it as the following will no longer be available to freely sign with new teams with six of the seven hit with a franchise tag:
- DE Josh Allen
- WR Michael Pittman
- DE Brian Burns
- DT Justin Madubuike
- CB Jaylon Johnson
- S Antoine Winfield
- S Kyle Dugger - Transition tag
Those seven are on top of WR Tee Higgins and CB L’Jarius Sneed who had been tagged earlier in the offseason.
