With the NFL franchise tag deadline having come and gone, only two players received the tag — and they just so happened to be Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins and Kansas City Chiefs guard Trey Smith, the top two free agents on our initial list.
Additionally, the Los Angeles Rams extended left tackle Alaric Jackson (No. 11 on the initial list) on a three-year, $57 million deal, while the Dallas Cowboys reached a four-year, $80 million contract extension with defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa, who was No. 6 on the initial list.
