John Breech and Tyler Sullivan joined Will Brinson on the latest “Pick Six NFL Podcast” to dissect this year’s top franchise-tag candidates, predicting which big names could — or should — be tagged ahead of free agency. Some highlights:

Brinson is convinced teams increasingly “want to wait as long as possible” to apply the tag (as opposed to, say, a decade ago) in order to avoid the perception “they are abusing” the option. In a sense, it shows “more respect” to players.Sullivan thinks there’s “no doubt” Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen will get the tag, especially after team brass all but guaranteed the 2023 breakout would be back. If Allen were to hit the market, he added, it’d be “almost impossible” to retain him.Breech believes a tag and trade of Brian Burns is the most likely scenario for the Panthers, who have “so many holes” they almost need to get something valuable in return for the young pass rusher.
