Monday was the deadline for franchise tagged players to agree to long-term contract extensions with their respective teams, and the three players who didn’t get a new deal this year were all running backs.
Saquon Barkley (New York Giants), Josh Jacobs (Las Vegas Raiders), and Tony Pollard (Dallas Cowboys) all passed the deadline without a new contract, so if they play in 2023 it’ll have to be on the roughly $10.1 million franchise tag tender. Pollard signed his tender, whereas Jacobs and Barkley haven’t and have been absent from their teams’ offseason programs.
