The Buffalo Bills chose not to franchise tag any players with contracts currently set to expire, as Tuesday’s deadline to do so expired at 4 p.m. EST. Franchise-tagging players is an expensive move, and it doesn’t always guarantee that the two sides will work out a long-term contract to keep them in town past the season.
The Bills had three prime candidates for the franchise tag in 2023 — safety Jordan Poyer and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, and running back Devin Singletary. However, general manager Brandon Beane had previously stated that using the tag on their player was unlikely due to the lack of salary cap space.
