There is only one week left until the scheduled opening of training camp for Seattle Seahawks rookies on July 21, however, there is even less time left before the 4 PM Wednesday deadline by which tagged players must sign a long term deal or play 2020 on the tag. For the NFL, amidst the uncertainty of the economy in the middle of a global pandemic, that means that more than a dozen players could see their dreams of a long term deal this season dry up by Wednesday afternoon.
There are 15 tagged NFL players – 14 franchised, one transitioned – that have until Wednesday to sign long-term deals and yet there might be “one or two deals, at most,” per a league source.
