Extensive catchers Chris Godwin and Allen Robinson were among the celebrities as a total of 10 players were selected before Tuesday’s 4pm ET deadline.
Teams must now until mid-July agree on a long-term contract extension, or that player will play the upcoming season under the one-year offer.
Groups had a choice of three different tags: the exclusive licensing tag, the non-exclusive licensing tag and the transfer tag. They are explained below.
Special license tag: The team pays a player either the average salary of the five highest paid players at his career or 120 percent of the previous year’s salary – whichever is higher. Players can also be tagged up to three times with a team, but the payout goes up significantly in this case. If a player gets this tag, they cannot negotiate with other teams. They either sign the contract, sign a new contract, or keep it out.
Non-exclusive licensing tag: The salary effects are the same as the special label, but in this case, other teams may try to remove the tagged player. If they agree on a contract with the player, two things can happen: 1, the original team can match the terms and take on the new contract, or 2, if they decay, the new team must kick two send off the first round as compensation. This tag is usually used.
Transition Tag: The player will receive the average salary of the top 10 top paid players in his career for one year. Here, the player can negotiate with other teams to find a long-term contract. The original team has an option to match the offer, but if they do not, no compensation is given.
Who was elected?
Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Ultimately, wide receiver Chris Godwin made more sense as a license tag holder than a richer Shaquil Barrett pass based on a $ 15.808m cap that was so financially good for the Super Bowl champions. Godwin made 65 catches for 840 yards and seven touchdowns last season.
Allen Robinson, WR, Chicago Bears
While Allen Robinson did not like a way out, the Bears used the franchise tag on the wide receiver in an effort to keep their star player in their way as a quarterback bought this offseason. . Robinson’s 1,250 yards represent the second-best result behind the 1,400 he set up in his 2015 Pro Bowl year with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Dak Prescott, QB, Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys passed the franchise tag to quarterback Dak Prescott for the second straight season as a procedural issue after the pair agreed to a new four-year, $ 160m contract extension, which included a maximum $ 66m signing bonus. and will see the fourth 2016 -round pick earn $ 75m on its own in year one. The nature of the contract governs the possibility of Prescott being elected for the third time.
Justin Simmons, S, Denver Broncos

Leonard Williams, DL, New York Giants
New York Giants general manager Dave Gettleman reminded everyone that his scathing decision to trade for Leonard Williams in October 2019 has paid off. The Giants were trying to stop their richer pass star from hitting a free agency by putting the right tag for him behind a career year in which Williams scored 11.5 pocannan. The No. 6 overall pick at the 2016 Draft also averaged 42 weights, 12 rushing and 30 quarterback goals.
Marcus Williams, S, New Orleans Saints
In one of the surprise selections, the New Orleans Saints named Marcus Williams safety as their tag franchise player, meaning it is now expected to make around $ 10.5m next season. There were 59 wrestling in the second round selection of 2017, seven licenses secured and three catches in 2020.
Marcus Maye, S, New York Jets
The Jets used the non-exclusive franchise tag on the safety of Marcus Maye veterans, which will receive about $ 10.496 in 2021 as a result. Maye was the 39th overall pick of the 2017 Draft and has six interceptions, 22 defended passes, four forced fumbles, 266 innings and 2.5 sacks in 54 games.
Brandon Scherff, G, Washington
For the second year in a row Washington Bowl franchise tagged four-time Brandon Scherff, who was named an All-Pro for the first time in his career last season. Scherff, who has not played all 16 games since 2016, appears to be a candidate for the value of the tag from a player’s point of view as he prepares to win $ 18m in 2021 behind the $ 15m he made on the tag. in 2020.
Taylor Moton, OT, Carolina Panthers
There was no surprise in Carolina as the Panthers handed out their franchise tag to deal with an offense at Taylor Moton, which is poised to make $ 13.602m under the one – year offer. Moton played 100 percent of offensive snaps in 2018 and 2020 and lost just six snaps in 2019.
Cam Robinson, OT, Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars used the franchise tag perhaps with a certain Trevor Lawrence in mind, locking in the offensive attack of Cam Robinson, who is now set to earn just $ 14m shy in 2021. The 2017 second-round pick has started 47 games in his four seasons in the NFL, including all 16 in 2020. He lost a total of 14 during the 2018 campaign due to a torn ACL.
Who hasn’t been selected?
The Detroit Lions set the stage for Kenny Golladay to be the top free agency choice next week as they told the wide receiver she would not be tagged. Golladay was limited to just five games in 2020 due to injury after leading the league with 11 touchdown catches in 2019. Detroit also oversaw the pass of Romeo Okwara, who collected 10 sacks of the last season – the equivalent of his previous four seasons combined.

Bud Dupree making for the free market after seeing its 2020 season with the Pittsburgh Steelers damaged by a torn ACL, while in the future JuJu Smith-Schuster at Heinz Field yet to be confirmed.
Market reversal could be interesting after Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks stopped tagging Aaron Jones and Chris Carson, separately. That being said, the former seem to be eager to reach an agreement on a new long-term deal with Jones, who has been heavily involved in Matt LaFleur’s offense.
It was also a quiet day for those called Shaq; Seattle view set to allow corner Shaquill Griffin to land on the open market and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers still have work to do in a richer future with a free group pass. Shaquil Barrett.

Over in Baltimore, the Ravens decided not to pick either Mata Judon no Yannick Ngakoue, while tight end teams need to take an interest in the Los Angeles Chargers’ Henry’s hunter and the Tennessee Titans’ Jonnu Smith not getting the tag.
Meanwhile the Los Angeles Rams stopped short of tagging a linebacker Leonard Floyd behind a career year that saw him collect 10.5 sacks in his first season since being released by the Chicago Bears.
Also among those not elected was the New England Patriots guard Joe Thuney, Arizona Cardinals running back Drake Kenya, San Francisco 49ers offensive tack Trent Williams, End of Cincinnati Bengals defense Carl Lawson and the widespread disposal of the Houston Texans Will Fuller.
