NFL and NFLPA delay start of franchise tag use and it’s a good thing

With negotiations ongoing and a vote expected to take place this week in Indianapolis by the NFLPA, the two sides have agreed to delay the start of franchise and transition tag use for two days. This is good news as it may be a precursor to getting the new CBA approved.

The NFLPA was supposed to vote on the NFL’s proposal last week but opted to wait until this week during the NFL Combine. With the two sides close, it makes sense to postpone anything that may impact player salaries and franchises options.

The delay will allow teams an opportunity to review the details of the CBA should it be accepted.
