NFL teams had until 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday to apply the franchise or transition tag to one player on their roster headed for free agency.
Browns tight end David Njoku was the first player to receive a franchise tag this offseason, but many more players are in consideration for the designation. Teams and franchise players have until mid-July to work out a multi-year contract extension. If an extension isn't reached by that point, the player and team can only agree to a one-year deal for the current season.
Here is all of the tags used by teams -- and notable ones not used -- ahead of Tuesday's deadline:
- The Cincinnati Bengals used their franchise tag on Jessie Bates. The tag for safeties is $12.911 million.
- The Cleveland Browns used their franchise tag on David Njoku. The tag for tight ends is $10.931 million.
- The Dallas Cowboys used their franchise tag on Dalton Schultz. The tag for tight ends is $10.931 million.
- The Green Bay Packers used their franchise tag on Davante Adams. The tag for Adams is around $20.415 million.
