Jaguars Open Franchise Tag Window, Likely Skip Lloyd & Etienne

The Jaguars’ franchise tag window is open from Feb. 17 to Mar. 3, but the team is unlikely to tag Devin Lloyd or Travis Etienne because of the high projected costs.

The franchise tag window for the Jacksonville Jaguars runs from Feb. 17 through Mar. 3. Both linebacker Devin Lloyd and running back Travis Etienne are eligible for the tag, which would lock them into a one‑year deal at the top salary for their positions.

However, the projected tag amounts—about $28 million for a linebacker and $14 million for a running back—make the Jaguars hesitant. Sources say the team prefers to avoid the high cap hit and will likely let the players test free agency instead.
