NFL Franchise Tag Tracker 2022

NFL Free Agency is rapidly approaching and teams have until 4 PM ET on Tuesday to determine if they will use a franchise tag on one of their impending unrestricted free agents. Each team only gets one tag, which will keep the player on the team for one more year at an average salary determined by the five highest-paid players at that position. The team does not have to use it if it does not wish to do so.
