NFL Tag Deadline Day: Will More Than Two Tags Hit the Open Market?

The NFL’s franchise/transition tag window closes today at 4:00 p.m. ET. Historically, only a couple of tags are used each year, with 2025’s count the fewest since 2006; this year’s potential moves to watch include Colts quarterback Daniel Jones (and, if a deal is worked out today, Colts receiver Alec Pierce), Jets running back Breece Hall, and Bengals defensive end Trey Hendrickson, but it remains likely there will be only two tags announced before the deadline.

Jets weigh running back future as Hall tag decision looms

With a Tuesday deadline looming, the Jets must choose between franchising Breece Hall, using the transition tag, or signing a multiyear deal; a franchise tag would cost two first-round picks to sign away Hall, while a transition tag would give the Jets no compensation if he signs elsewhere. A mid-range AAV around $12.8 million could emerge depending on the evolving running back market, influenced by recent deals for peers and free agents.

Jets weigh transition tag to keep Breece Hall from free agency

The Jets may apply the transition tag to running back Breece Hall as a hedge against free agency. The tag would cost roughly $11.5–$11.9 million for 2026, guarantees the year if accepted, and lets New York match any offer sheet without paying compensation unless they choose not to match. It can serve as a placeholder while market offers come in; if Hall signs elsewhere, the Jets wouldn’t incur compensatory picks. A franchise tag would be pricier (around $14.5 million), and a tag-and-trade remains a possibility if the Jets decide to pay Hall for another year.

"Patriots' Transition Tag History: Kyle Dugger's $13.8M Deal and Franchise Tag Explained"

The New England Patriots used the transition tag to keep safety Kyle Dugger under contract for the 2024 season, making him part of a rare club of Patriots players who have received this designation. The transition tag, which offers the right of first refusal, has been used only six times in the past 10 offseasons. Dugger joins linebacker Vincent Brown and cornerback Maurice Hurst as the only other Patriots players to have been tagged in this manner. The hope is that Dugger will continue to play solid football for the organization after receiving the transition tag.

This move impacts the team's cap space and extension talks, as they aim to secure Dugger for the long term.

"Patriots Secure Kyle Dugger with $13.8M Transition Tag"

The New England Patriots have placed a $13.8 million transition tag on safety Kyle Dugger, making him just the sixth NFL player in the last 15 years to receive this designation.

The team aims to reach a long-term agreement with Dugger, who has been a productive and versatile player since joining the Patriots in 2020. The decision to use the transition tag means that one of the Patriots' other top free agents, offensive lineman Mike Onwenu, will not receive a tag.
