New on SI: NFL Franchise Tag Tracker: Chiefs to Tag DT Chris Jones

The NFL franchise tag window will be open from Feb. 27-March 12.

The franchise tag window will open on Thursday, and teams have two weeks to decide if they want to keep players who are scheduled to become free agents but haven't signed long-term deals.

Under the final year of the current collective bargaining agreement, teams can either use the franchise tag or the transition tag. NFL teams can franchise tag players from Feb. 27-March 12.
