For the NFL, it's March 4th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. NFL free agency kicks off in one week and teens had until 4pm eastern time on Tuesday to slap franchise or transition tags on key players. In the end, 14s pulled the trigger. The Dallas Cowboys tag wide receiver George Pickens, the Atlanta Falcons tag tied in Kyle Pits, the New York Jets tag running back breeze, Hall, and Indianapolis Colts tagged quarterback Daniel Jones. That leaves some notable names hitting the open market, shaking up fans offseason wishlists. Before Tuesday, just two teens had used tags, but now the top free agent pool looks thinner at certain spots, like why receiver and running back. Teams like the Washington commanders are smiling with around $90 million in salary cap space and big needs across the roster. Not tagging certain stars means more options for buyers and pass rush and speed at receiver.
Take the Colts passing on why receiver Alec Pierce. At 25 years old, he's a deep threat who could pair perfectly with Terry McClorn and boost Jayden Daniels' offense due play action. Meanwhile, the Bengals led defensive and tray Hendrickson go free. The 31-year-old sack leader from the last two years could fix Washington's pass rush woes if he stays healthy. And the Seahawks skipping running back Kenneth Walker III opens another dynamic back for teams hunting ground game help. We'd like to thank our sponsor for making this episode possible. When you want calm, do not reach for your phone. Lay back and listen.
