The 2020 NFL franchise tag deadline is 4 p.m. Monday, March 16, and there are several players likely to land the one-year tender designation. It’s still up in the air whether the NFLPA will ratify the proposed collective bargaining agreement, but without ratification, teams will be able to use both the franchise tag and the transition tag. The union is voting on the CBA currently, with a deadline for that set at 11:59 p.m. ET Saturday.
We will continue to update the tracker as news of tags is made available.
