Running back Tony Pollard received the franchise tag from the Dallas Cowboys, preventing him from fleeing in free agency with a $10.09 million guarantee for the 2023 season.
The deadline to apply the franchise tag is Tuesday at 4 p.m. ET.
Pollard's 2022 breakout season ended with a bad leg break, but he's expected to be full strength in time for the mandatory portion of offseason workouts.
Players given the non-exclusive franchise tag can still meet with interested teams. If Pollard receives a contract offer from another team, the Cowboys can choose to match the offer to retain Pollard, or decline to match and accept two first-round picks as trade compensation.
