Franchise tag deadline fallout next on fantasy football today in five.

0:10.8

Welcome to FFTN5. I'm Chris Towers here with Dan Schneier and we're going to recap the franchise tag deadline which is 4 o'clock on Tuesday.

0:18.2

And we know where Tony Poller, Josh Jacobs, Evan Ingram, and

0:23.4

Sequin Barclay are going to be playing next season. We don't quite know where Lamar Jackson

0:28.8

is going to be playing next season. And we'll start there, Dan. Lamar Jackson signed, or the Ravens

0:34.1

tag, Lamar Jackson with the non-exclusive franchise tag, which means that he is

that we saw Deshaun Watson get last offseason. Whether he's going to get that in free agency,

1:24.2

1:32.8

for those teams. But with the kind of money that he's looking for, he might not be happy to play

1:38.3

on the tag. And this could be a holdout situation where we get to training camp. and Lamar Jackson just isn't there for Baltimore.
