New year, new teams. With the new league year quickly approaching, the deadline for NFL teams to use the franchise tag on a player passed at 4pm this Tuesday. While many teams used the tag to bind a player to their franchise for another year, the Green Bay Packers did not. Star running back Aaron Jones, a prime candidate for the tag, will enter the new league year as a free agent.
The Packers and Jones have been in talks over the last year, and, while Jones recieved no tag, both sides would still like to come to an agreement, per Adam Schefter.
