Jaguars Open Franchise Tag Window, Likely Skip Lloyd & Etienne

The franchise tag window for the Jacksonville Jaguars is now open, but the team is expected to forgo tagging linebacker Devin Lloyd or running back Travis Etienne because of the steep $28M and $14M price tags.

The franchise tag window for the Jacksonville Jaguars runs from Feb. 17 to Mar. 3, allowing the team to lock one free agent to a one‑year deal based on the top five salaries at that position.

Sources say the Jaguars will likely not tag linebacker Devin Lloyd or RB Travis Etienne, citing the projected $28 million tag for a linebacker and $14 million for a running back as too costly. The team has already drafted replacements for Etienne, including Bhayshul Tuten and LeQuint Allen.
