The window to utilize the franchise marker opens in all 32 NFL teams on Tuesday and works for two weeks, closing in the afternoon of March 4. The franchise tag is an annual, fully guaranteed tender that allows the team to stop the player who is a player will be an unlimited free agent.
Does Green Bay Packers have a franchise tag candidate this year?
Short, quick answer: no.
First of all, there are three different tag options: a uncontent franchise marker, an exclusive franchise marker and a transition tag. More about tag details can be found Here.
Do not expect Packers to utilize a marker in the next two weeks.
General Director Brian Gutekunst does not have a free agent’s priority who re -signed the signing of the marker’s costs. The team wants to return Brandon Mcmanus, but Packers will not want to commit millions of money guaranteed to 34-year-old 34-year-old Kicker in 2025. The same applies to the center of Josh Myers, which is not sure to return to Green Bay and the defensive liner, i.e. Slaton, a round in defense. The cost is simply too high.
According to Over the hatThe forecasted values of franchise tags for Kicker, Middle and Defense Line in 2025 are as follows:
Kicker: $ 6,459,000
Offensive line: $ 25,156,000
Defensive equipment: $ 23,468,000
These amounts eliminate the three most crucial free Packers agents of a stern consideration of the franchise marker. Even the value of the transition tag for kickers – a potential option, if Packers are seriously approaching McManus away from the market – it doesn’t make much sense at almost $ 6 million for 2025.
Without a free agent, Packers will almost certainly allow a two-week window without using a tag-how usually in Green Bay.
Packers have not used a franchise marker since the tagging of the receiver Davante Adams before trading in 2022. In fact, Packers used the tag only five times since its introduction in 1993.
