Colts GM Chris Ballard says the franchise tag is a tool they’d prefer not to use on pending free agents Daniel Jones and Alec Pierce, but it remains an option if a deal isn’t reached before the March 3 deadline. Talks at the scouting combine are ongoing and described as positive, with Jones stabilizing the QB position and Pierce posting strong receiving numbers in 2025.
NFL teams open the franchise-tag window (through March 3) with a July 15 deadline for long-term deals; the one-year tag (and a rarer transition tag) helps teams retain players, cap space, and hedge against free agency, sometimes as leverage for trades.

The NFL’s franchise tag window runs Feb. 17–Mar. 3, with teams weighing one-year tenders or pursuing multi-year extensions by July 15; there are three tag types—non-exclusive, exclusive, and transition—whose values depend on the top salaries and league cap, and while many teams wait to tag near the deadline, potential targets for 2026 include George Pickens, Daniel Jones and Breece Hall.

The 2025 NFL trade deadline saw notable moves, especially by the Jets, but overall was less dramatic than expected. The Jets traded key players like Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams, but retained core talent like Garrett Wilson, and their moves suggest a rebuild rather than a fire sale. Daniel Jones's leverage has increased significantly after the Colts' trade decisions, while Quinnen Williams's value is debated among NFL fans.
