The NFL offseason is apparently a full-go. Over the past few days, eight franchise tags were dished out — which did not include New England Patriots cornerback J.C. Jackson — while Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson shook the current landscape of the league when they decided their futures. To make matters even wilder, the Chicago Bears sent Khalil Mack to the Chargers for a pair of draft picks on Thursday.
As for the Patriots, they have begun to get to work on their roster as well, which was highlighted by the decision to not tag Jackson while also releasing linebacker Kyle Van Noy.
