The New Orleans Saints generally have a good track record of signing players on the franchise tag to extensions before the season starts, but it’s looking increasingly unlikely that good fortune will continue with Marcus Williams. Williams, who accepted the tag in March, is reportedly unlikely to sign a multi-year extension before Thursday’s 4 p.m. deadline for franchised players, per Adam Schefter.
Seven franchised players — Bucs WR Chris Godwin, Jets S Marcus Maye, Panthers RT Taylor Moton, Bears WR Allen Robinson, Jags OT Cam Robinson, WFT G Brandon Scherff, Saints S Marcus Williams — have until 4:00 today to sign extensions.
