5 NFL superstars likely to be franchise tagged in free agency
The deadline for NFL teams to apply the franchise tag to one of their pending free agents in the 2022 offseason is quickly approaching. Teams have until the end of the work day on March 8th to make their final decisions. Some players, such as Orlando Brown Jr. and David Njoku, have already been tagged. Here are five more NFL stars who are likely to be franchise tagged prior to the 2022 deadline.
NFL stars likely to receive a franchise tag during the 2022 offseason
#1 - Davante Adams, Green Bay Packers
Davante Adams is probably the most likely NFL player to be tagged prior to the March 8th deadline. The Green Bay Packers have been unsuccessful in working out a long-term contract for the superstar wide receiver, so they will need to tag him to avoid losing him to free agency.

#2 - Mike Williams, Los Angeles Chargers
Multiple reports are saying that the Los Angeles Chargers plan to do everything they can to work out a contract extension with Mike Milliams. If it doesn't officially get done in time, they will, most likely, tag him to keep him with the team and continue negotiations.
