Hunter Henry is the biggest free agent for the LA Chargers this offseason and on Tuesday we got our first answer on how the team is going to handle him being a free agent.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Chargers informed Henry that they would not be franchise tagging him for a second consecutive season. Another franchise tag would have paid him just under $13 million for the 2021 season.

The first step of the process is now out of the way and Henry has become an unrestricted free agent.
