Playing tag is no kids’ game for NFL teams

NFL teams could begin playing tag on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila), and it's no kids' game for the 32 teams.

Applying franchise and even transition tags to players can have major ramifications on a team's present and future. That was never more of a consideration than this year, with the salary cap decreasing for now by $18 million. That's the first time the cap has gone down, which is due to lost revenues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.
