Teams from around the NFL have already begun using the franchise tag, a tool provided to keep one player out of unrestricted free agency with a lucrative, one-year deal.

The period for using the franchise tag runs through Tuesday, March 6, so teams with big decisions on the tag are coming up to the deadline. And nothing spurs action like a good deadline.
Here are several players who can expect to get the franchise tag unless significant progress is made on a new contract over the next few days.
