Green Bay Packers not expected to use franchise tag ahead of free agency

While the Packers face a number of tough free agency decisions, not one warrants using the tag.

Each team has the right to designate the tag one player set to hit free agency. Applying the tag restricts a player’s movement on the market, but it comes at a cost.

LBs Nick Perry/Julius Peppers/Datone Jones — $15.
