A look at a few prospective NFL free agents who are trending toward a franchise or transition tag this coming February, including the projected costs for each. Bold indicates our educated guess as to which tag the player receives (no bold means we don't believe a tag will actually happen).

Exclusive to 2020: Because of an expiring CBA, teams are allowed to use both a franchise tag AND a transition tag in 2020. This benefits teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers & Tennessee Titans, who have multiple candidates.
