March 5, there were nine NFL players who were officially slapped with some sort of tag, whether that be franchise tag or transition tag. As of April 12, just two remain.
Kansas City Chiefs cornerback L’Jarius Sneed was traded to the Tennessee Titans and signed a lucrative four-year deal with his new team while Carolina Panthers pass rusher Brian Burns has a similar story, as he was dealt to the New York Giants and signed a monster contract. Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Justin Madubuike received a new four-year deal from his team, as did Chicago Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson. Indianapolis Colts wideout Michael Pittman Jr. signed a three-year deal with the team that selected him in the second round back in 2020, and Jacksonville Jaguars pass rusher Josh Allen signed a five-year extension just this past week. New England Patriots defensive back Kyle Dugger, who was the lone player to receive the transition tag this offseason, signed a four-year extension as well.
The only two players who remain on the tag without any long-term security are Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tee Higgins and Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Antoine Winfield Jr. The Bengals and Bucs have until July 15 to sign these players to new deals, or they will be locked in on the franchise tag for 2024.
