Summary

The NFL Franchise Tag window opens today and the biggest name to watch is George Pickens with the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys have traded stars before, but they need to do everything they can to bring Pickens back and keep their offense as a massive strength. Trey Hendrickson's time with the Cincinnati Bengals seems to be coming to a close, but it is hard to see the Bengals as a better team without him. Regardless, they need to find a way to extract some value out of the breakup with a trade of any kind. The Indianapolis Colts need to figure out what to do with Daniel Jones and tagging him seems like an incredibly risky move. Finally, Kenneth Walker just won Super Bowl MVP for the Seattle Seahawks and he needs to be brought back, but Kyle Pitts should not be tagged by the Atlanta Falcons as it is time for both sides to move on.
