Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was the lone player given the exclusive franchise tag before Monday’s deadline, which included 13 non-exclusive tags.
Prescott is in line for a one-year salary of about $33 million, the highest tender due any of the free agents given the franchise tag since the window opened last month.
All players given the non-exclusive franchise tag can negotiate with other teams. If they sign with a new team and their current franchise declines to match the offer, the current team is awarded two first-round picks.
Three linebackers were given the tag, but there is likely to be a dispute coming in the case of Matthew Judon of the Baltimore Ravens. He was a stand-up linebacker for fewer than 75 snaps last season and logged more than 600 as an “edge” player.
The non-exclusive franchise tag figure for defensive ends is $17.788 million and $15.828 for linebackers.
Prescott was the only quarterback franchised. He reportedly turned down a three-year, $105 million offer that, when bonuses are factored in, could have exceeded the total annual average value of Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson’s deal. Wilson is the NFL highest-paid quarterback at $35 million per year.
Two running backs were tagged — NFL leading rusher Derrick Henry (Tennessee Titans) was given the franchise tag and the Arizona Cardinals used the transition tag on Kenyan Drake — as was one wide receiver, Cincinnati Bengals veteran A.J. Green.
Henry stands to make $10.278 million as a franchise player, while Drake checks in at $8.483 million on the transition tag. Green will earn $17.865 million.
