Fox News Flash top sports headlines are here. Check out what's clicking on Foxnews.com. The NFL offseason truly kicks off Tuesday at 4 p.m.
ET, when all 32 clubs have the ability to franchise tag players they wish to keep on the roster for next season. The franchise tag is unique to the NFL as it allows players that might be on the move in free agency to stay put on the roster.
Of course, in some cases, this doesn’t make players feel good because they could find more money and a better situation elsewhere.
But in every case, it allows that team the opportunity to negotiate further to perhaps reach a long-term extension. And for the player, guaranteed money comes their way for next season.
