The 2020 NFL franchise tag window will open Thursday, with teams having until 4 p.m. ET March 12 to decide whether to utilize the distinction.
A number of high-profile names could see the tag in coming days, some seemingly resigned to the inevitable. The Dallas Cowboys are a borderline lock to franchise Dak Prescott, barring a long-term agreement, and the Cincinnati Bengals will likely extend AJ Green's stay with the franchise for another season.
Other notables like Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones, Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Yannick Ngakoue and Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Matthew Judon also have a high chance of being franchised.
