This off-season, we are likely to see even more historic contracts given the rise in recent times, but it's still the franchise tag that allows teams to retain key players at a cheaper rate, and so far, it looks like we'll see plenty of those in the coming days.
The running back is a position that will come up in that conversation plenty, and today, the Dallas Cowboys all but confirmed that if they can't reach a long-term agreement with Tony Pollard, they would indeed use the franchise tag on him.
2022 was a breakout season for Pollard, and with the rumours that Ezekiel Elliott could be cut this off-season, he becomes even more important, but regardless, if he can continue getting more and more touches, the Cowboys seemingly have found themselves another star.The #Cowboys will franchise tag RB Tony Pollard if the two sides cannot work out a long-term deal by the Tuesday deadline, sources say. Dallas has been clear the tag is an option, and they aren't in the business of letting great players walk. Pollard will be there in 2023.
