It’s officially the NFL offseason and that means there are no longer games to be watched, but rather deadlines to circle. On Feb. 22, the official window giving teams the ability to franchise or transition tag one player on the team opened.
Teams will now have until March 8. to make a decision on whether to keep a player for just a little while longer, or allow them to hit free agency as unrestricted free agents.
Last year, the Jaguars utilized the franchise tag on left tackle Cam Robinson, locking him into a rather cheap deal given the state of the NFL’s salary cap last season at $13.
