As we sit here on Franchise Tag Eve. . .which isn’t actually a thing or anything. . .let’s take a brief look at the Minnesota Vikings and their use of the Franchise Tag.
The NFL introduced the Franchise Tag back in 1993, and there are teams that have had to use it quite a bit. The Minnesota Vikings are not one of those teams. In the 25 years that the Franchise Tag has been around, the Vikings have used it exactly twice.
The first time came in 2003, when the team chose to use the tag on tight end Jim Kleinsasser.
