Thankfully, the LA Chargers don’t have many players that would be under consideration for the franchise tag outside of Hunter Henry. Melvin Gordon is really the only other possibility but all signs seem to be pointing towards both sides moving on from each other. So if general manager Tom Telesco does decide to use the tag this year, it should be on their star tight end.
Generally speaking, the franchise tag is a useful tool for teams to use on players who they deem as having some questions and risk in regards to their long term futures.
