Tagged players like Yannick Ngakoue, Chris Jones and Matthew Judon know clock is ticking

There is only one week left until the scheduled opening of training camp for Seattle Seahawks rookies on July 21, however, there is even less time left before the 4 PM Wednesday deadline by which tagged players must sign a long term deal or play 2020 on the tag. For the NFL, amidst the uncertainty of the economy in the middle of a global pandemic, that means that more than a dozen players could see their dreams of a long term deal this season dry up by Wednesday afternoon.

There are 15 tagged NFL players – 14 franchised, one transitioned – that have until Wednesday to sign long-term deals and yet there might be “one or two deals, at most,” per a league source.
