Packers pass on franchise tag, but 9 other players tagged around NFL

The Green Bay Packers did not use the franchise tag by Tuesday’s deadline, as expected. The team has 12 unrestricted free agents entering the new league year but zero legitimate options for the franchise tag.

The Packers last used the tag on receiver Davante Adams, who was then traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022. The team’s complete history with the tag can be viewed here.

Nine players with expiring contracts did receive tags around the NFL before the deadline.

Here are all the players who were tagged Tuesday (or before):

Edge rusher Josh Allen, Jacksonville Jaguars
Edge rusher Brian Burns, Carolina Panthers
Safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
