Unbelievably, NFL free agency is only three weeks away. The franchise tag window opened this week, and while no team has applied the tag as of this time, it’s coming.
It’s a near lock the Washington Commanders will apply the franchise tag on defensive tackle Daron Payne. The 25-year-old Payne is coming off a season in which he recorded career-highs in sacks [11.5] and tackles for loss [18]. Payne was dominant and has only missed one game in five seasons.
