New York Giants star running back Saquon Barkley is among four franchise-tagged players who have just a week to finalise a long-term deal.
Earlier this offseason, six franchises opted to use the franchise tag to retain out of contract stars for the 2023 NFL season and potentially beyond. The franchise tag is a tool designed for teams to keep their best players while in contract negotiations.
The franchise tag is a one-year deal which gives all 32 teams the option of tagging one player per year ahead of free agency, where the player is set to become an unrestricted free agent. And Barkley is joined by Josh Jacobs, Tony Pollard and Evan Engram in facing an uncertain future.
