Franchise tag period for NFL begins Tuesday

Starting on Tuesday, NFL teams can designate franchise or transition players. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may use the franchise tag on safety Antoine Winfield Jr., who was named a First-Team All-Pro for the 2023 season. This tag would ensure that Winfield Jr. stays with the team for the 2024 season. However, he may have to wait for a full extension and play on the tag due to potential deals for Baker Mayfield and Mike Evans. The franchise tag guarantees a player a one-year salary that is either the average of the top-five salaries at their position or 120% larger than their previous year's salary. CBS Sports projects the upcoming season's tag amount to be $16,258,000. If Winfield Jr. is tagged, his contract negotiations would be delayed until 2025. The deadline for tags is March 5.
