By so far, six NFL players have been designated with franchise tags from their teams. The New England Patriots defensive tackle Vince Wilfork was the first one, followed by San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin and Green Bay Packers nose tackle Ryan Pickett.
The other three teams did not follow the first three teams to place the tag on their nose tackles, too. Instead, the Oakland Raiders tagged defensive end Richard Seymour, the Seattle Seahawks and Pittsburgh Steelers both placed the tag on kickers, respectively Olindo Mare and Jeff Reed.
Among the six tagged players, five of them received non-exclusive tags that allow them to negotiate with other teams. And if they have intention to put on other teams’ NFL jerseys, their current teams have the right to match any offer or get two first-round draft picks. The only other player who was designated with an exclusive franchise is Seymour, who will be guaranteed at least $12.398 million to be one of the highest paid defensive ends in the league.
