NFL Free Agency Shockers: Which Star Players Are Surprisingly Still Up for Grabs After Franchise Tagging?

Best fits: Patriots, Eagles, Ravens
5. QB Daniel Jones^
Jones was tagged March 3 − but with a transition tag, not the franchise variety, meaning he’s especially exposed if another team swoops in with an offer the Indianapolis Colts aren’t willing to match (or get compensated for). A torn Achilles last December cut short what had been his best season statistically (238.5 passing yards per game, 100.2 QB rating) to that point. The QB trend du jour that may be forming in the NFL could be finding a reclamation project who won’t necessarily eat up a massive chunk of the salary cap − and Jones, 28, can thank Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield for their ongoing heroics. Hard to believe Indy will allow Jones to gauge his worth with the rest of the league, though … especially when his previous team, the Minnesota Vikings, could suddenly become very interested if he’s not secured soon.
