NFL and NFLPA agree to delay start and end of franchise tag window

Fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to wait at least two more days than they thought they would to potentially find out whether or not Jameis Winston will be back in 2020.

Originally, Tuesday was the first day NFL team’s could apply their franchise tags to players with expiring contracts who they don’t want talking to other teams. However, as of Saturday night, NFL.com’s Grant Gordon reported the league and NFLPA have agreed to delay the start of the franchise tag window, and extend the closing of the same, by two days.
