Prior to today, 4:00 p.m. ET, NFL teams had the possibility to designate one of their upcoming free agents as either a franchise or transition player by putting a tag on them. Seven teams have chosen to do just that to prevent players from hitting the market – and they are as follows:
Carolina Panthers: DT Kawann Short
Los Angeles Chargers: LB Melvin Ingram
Los Angeles Rams: CB Trumaine Johnson
New York Giants: DE Jason Pierre-Paul
The New England Patriots, who were seen as potential users of the tag, were not among the teams to apply it.
