#Eagles announced they placed their franchise designation on WR DeSean Jackson. Was expected all along.

There's 1.

Michael C. Wright ‏ @mikecwright

RT @JasonLaCanfora: Raiders have informed S Tyvon Branch he will be franchised. #insideslant

And another.

i saw a statement somewhere that they were expecting as many as 25 franchise tags this year. iirc, they said that was also 11 more than any other year.

meanwhile, panthers have all key players wrapped up. no need for a tag on anyone.

Dolphins apparently won't be tagging Paul Soliai again.

Brent Grimes saying he won't sign his tender.

I wouldn't mind Soliai in San Diego, but I don't see him fitting moneywise.

Marshawn Lynch got a deal in Seattle, so he won't be tagged. Looks like same could apply for Steve Johnson in Buffalo.

Tennessee seems directed to use theirs on Michael Griffin and to let Finnegan go to FA.

Deadline is today.

    • When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).
    • We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
    • On Panther's Wire too. No idea, just found it and trying to share. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/06/15/nfl-free-agency-rumors-panthers-eagles-justin-simmons/84219881007/
