Three NFL running backs were wearing the franchise tag this offseason and none of the three reached long term contract extension with their respective teams by the Monday afternoon deadline. That means that if all three of the running backs, Josh Jacobs of the Las Vegas Raiders, Tony Pollard of the Dallas Cowboys, and Saquon Barkley of the New York Giants want to play in 2023, they’ll have to do so under their one-year tag amounts of $10.091.
Of those three running backs, the Pittsburgh Steelers are scheduled to play one of them during the 2023 regular season.
