Prominent NFL Tag Candidates
March 8th is the deadline for teams to designate a franchise or transition tag.
Related: Projected 2022 Tag Values
Orlando Brown Jr. (OT, KC)
- Has been offered a $16.5M tag by the Chiefs
- Was acquired for a 1st, 3rd, & 4th (while also getting a 2nd & 6th)
- Projects to a 5 year, $116.5M historic extension
Davante Adams (WR, GB)
- Should be offered a $20.145M franchise tag (120% of his 2021 cap hit)
- Packers are trying to avoid the tag, as they simply do not have the cap space to take it on
- Aaron Rodgers’ March 8th deadline isn’t an accident, it’s the end of the tag window. He goes I go situation
- Projects to a 5 year, $129M extension in our system, easily the largest total value for any WR in history (Calvin Johnson, $113.45M)
- Adams is looking to surpass Julio Jones’ $64M of fully guarantee at signing
Chris Godwin (WR, TB)
- May be offered a 2nd tag at $19.18M
- Won’t be available all offseason, projects to return right at Week 1 (torn ACL/MCL)
- Bucs smelling blood in a weak division? Band-aid QB with tons of weapons?
- Projects to a 5 year, $103M extension (but might need to prove health?)
Mike Williams (WR, LAC)
- Should be offered an $18.5M tag by the Chargers
- Likely to play on it? (Feels Godwin-y)
- Projects to a 5 year, $90M extension
- LAC has the cap space to structure this as a “double-tag” extension with value in years 3-5 if they so choose.
Mike Gesicki (TE, MIA)
- Will be offered an $11M tag by the Dolphins
- Could argue that he’s a WR based on his formation numbers, but not likely ($7.5M difference)
- Miami probably extends him, I would not. I believe the $11M tender is both fair and good business for a team with a lack of identity right now.
- Projects to 4 years, $44M (same value as the tag)
Dalton Schultz (TE, DAL)
- Should be offered an $11M tag by the Cowboys
- Blake Jarwin’s injury status secures his spot
- Projects to a 4 yr, $50M+ extension
Harold Landry (LB, TEN)
- Should be offered an $18.5M tag by the Titans
- TEN will need to restructure a few contracts to fit this in
- Strong candidate to play on the tag
- Projects to a 4 year, $68M contract (Shaq Barrett-y)
Jessie Bates (S, CIN)
- Will be offered a $13M tag by the Bengals
- Bengals possess around $49M of cap space
- Projects to a 5 year, $74M+ extension
- Probably plays on the tag, while Cincy focuses cash on the OL?
James Conner/Chase Edmonds (RB, ARI)
- Arizona wants to keep both RBs, Transition Tag for one?
- Keim has shown he’ll do this with Kenyan Drake
- Is keeping one at $8.5M(ish) too expensive from a cap perspective?
- I’d rather see them sign both at $5M-$6M multi-year extensions, with cap flexibility built in.
