0:00It's March 3rd for the NFL. Let's get into it. Follow and subscribe for more team news every day. The Jacksonville Jaguars let the franchise tag deadline pass without using it on linebacker Devon Lloyd or running back Travis Etienne. This clears the way for both players as their rookie contracts end. Now the team has less than a week to negotiate long-term extensions before the players hit free agency. Let's expect a strong market for each, given their solid performances last season. Fans and analysts see this as smart for the players who want to test their value after key contributions. For the Jaguars, it's about managing salary cap space without overcommitting right away. The tag cost for Lloyd would have topped $26,865,000, making him the highest paid linebacker ever. Etienne's tag was around $14,293,000, but the team drafted promising new running backs. Meanwhile, reports link at Tien to teams like the Kansas City Chiefs in New Orleans Saints.
