Now that the NFL combine is in the rearview mirror, attention turns to free agency and the chance for teams to resign their own players, including the use of the franchise tag. With the March 8 4pm ET deadline to tag players mere hours away, general managers around the league must decide if the tool is an option that best suits the construction of their roster. Is there a chance that Les Snead and the Los Angeles Rams decide to use the franchise tag this year?
Per the usual, the Rams are currently projected to be one of nine teams over 2022 salary cap, as LA sits right at $20 million over the cap, according to Spotrac.
