The NFL offseason officially started around 11 p.m. EST on February 12 when the Kansas City Chiefs wrapped up their Super Bowl 57 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Now, nine days later, teams can officially begin taking the first step in realizing their 2023 rosters.
February 21 marks the first day in a two-week window for teams to designate their franchise or transition tag players. Those labels effectively tie a pending free agent to the team for which they played the previous season to different degrees.
