The official deadline for NFL teams to place the franchise tag on their pending free agents has come and gone. All tags must have been submitted by 4 PM/EST Tuesday. While many teams around the league exercised that ability, the Pittsburgh Steelers didn’t issue the tag on any of their pending free agents. It was a wholly expected move but this cements confirmation.
Pittsburgh simply didn’t have any free agent worthy to tag. Their top pending unrestricted free agent is CB Cam Sutton, in-line for a big payday this offseason but not at the tag level. That would’ve equated to a one-year deal worth $18.
