The 2017 Franchise Player deadline has passed and 64 players will be returning to action with their same teams…This is a drop of 10 players from the 2016 Season…1 Full Round of picks…and is the lowest total of Franchise Tags issued since we started allowing the trading of Draft Picks in 2009 (Previously 65)…With some last minute trading…we still managed to keep at least 2 players in every eligible round…and thanks to FUD and UOG…at least 1 player at every position…There were only 2 fewer tags issued in the 1st 5 Rounds (16 tags vs 18)…We still have locked up all of the UFA slots in 6.09 thru 7.12…but in rounds 9 thru 12 we opened up 8 more slots from 2016 (13 tags vs 21)…
The full position breakdown:
28 Wide Receivers
26 Running Backs
8 Quarterbacks
1 Defenses
