How the NFL franchise tag window impacts the Jaguars offseason

The NFL franchise tag window officially opens on Tuesday Feb. 19, which means that teams can now place the franchise tag on their own pending free agents. There does not appear to be anyone that the Jaguars will be using the tag on in 2019, however there are other pending free agents that could get tagged that will impact the Jaguars offseason.

Teams now have until March 5 at 4:00 P.M. ET to tag their players with either the exclusive franchise tag, non-exclusive franchise tag or the transition tag. The big name to watch obviously is Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Nick Foles, who surprisingly a lot of people seem to think will get the franchise tag in the next two week period.
