The Franchise Tag in the NFL is an often used, team friendly way to commit to a player for 1 year and kick the ball down the field on contract negotiations. The NFL's deadline for teams to apply the tag was yesterday at 4pm eastern, and we'll let you know who all was tagged prior to yesterday's deadline.
The Green Bay Packers chose not to use the franchise or transitional tag on Aaron Jones, thus making the 26-year old running back an unrestricted free agent.
Free agent pitcher Trevor Bauer announced in a video he posted on social media that he chose the LA Dodgers and signed a three-year $102 million contract.
The start of NFL free agency is less than two months away, and Aaron Jones will be the most attractive running back on the market, which starts on March 17th.
