The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to place the franchise tag on tight end Evan Engram, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Thursday.

The tight end franchise tag is $11.345 million. The deadline for teams to use the franchise tag is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET. Engram, 28, set career highs in catches (73) and receiving yards (766) to go along with four touchdowns last season.

Those are the most catches and receiving yards by a tight end in a single season in Jaguars franchise history, surpassing the marks set by Kyle Brady in 2000.

As shown with the Jaguars, Engram is best suited for a system that moves him around the formation, allowing him to either get loose underneath or work the second and third levels of the route tree and run after the catch.
