It’s official. The franchise tag deadline has passed. You can see the list of players who were tagged here. As expected, many of the league’s top pass rushers were locked up and will never hit the market. Some others simply re-signed with their respective teams. Others will slip through, making for a good looking group headed for free agency.
Here are the top ten who would be major upgrades on a Raiders team that needs them.
5. RB Le’Veon Bell
10. OT Ja’Wuan James
Talks with these free agents can being on March 11 and be made official at the start of free agency on March 13.
