NFL franchise tag window opens; rules, which Buffalo Bills could see it?

The NFL’s window for franchise and transition tags has opened, and for the first time in a long time, the Buffalo Bills may actually consider it. The rules, deadlines, and financials can be confusing so we’ll break it all down for you here.

Window

Teams have from today, February 23rd, until March 9th to apply the franchise or transition tags. The deadline to sign those tagged players to a long-term deal is in mid-July. If no deal is reached, they play on the one-year tag.

Number

Each team can use one tag per year.
