Buccaneers: When is the 2020 franchise tag deadline?

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have several key decisions to make in the offseason before the NFL Draft in April.

The Buccaneers will offer several extensions to free-agents and choose to part ways with others. Tampa Bay will also likely test the waters on the trade block, as well.

One of the more important decisions for the Buccaneers is who they place the franchise tag on for 2020. The most obvious choice at this point is QB Jameis Winston.

Though Winston is reportedly look for more than $30 million a year, the organization is likely to place the tag on him, which would give them more time to evaluate and would give him right around $27 million per year (per the franchise tag rules).
