Packers Opt to Not Use Franchise/Transition Tag


The Green Bay Packers have decided to not use a franchise or transition tag this off-season, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

Defensive end Cullen Jenkins was a potential candidate for the tag, with kicker Mason Crosby another possibility.

Jenkins has seven accrued seasons, but Crosby, safety Atari Bigby, guard Daryn Colledge, and wide receiver James Jones are some Packers with less than six accrued seasons that may have restricted free agent tenders applied to them this off-season.
