NFL Teams Contemplating Rescinding Franchise Tags on Star Players

Saquon Barkley of the Giants and Josh Jacobs of the Raiders have yet to accept their franchise tenders, and until they do, their teams could rescind the tags, making them free agents. While this is a rare occurrence, it is a possibility for any team using the franchise tag. The players and their agents must consider their options carefully, as the deadline for signing long-term deals is approaching. If they don't accept the best offer by Monday's deadline, the teams could remove the tags and force them to become free agents, potentially scrambling to find suitable contracts.

Austin Ekeler's Contract Situation with Chargers Raises Concerns.

Austin Ekeler, running back for the Los Angeles Chargers, is frustrated with the deflated running back market and the use of franchise tags, which he believes limits players' earning potential. Despite posting consecutive career years, Ekeler is making a competitive rate of $6.25 million in base salary in 2023. He had requested a trade in the offseason but the Chargers declined and instead added $2 million in incentives to his contract. The running back market has been steadily devalued over the past decade, and Ekeler may be the latest to suffer for it.
