Left: OLB Matthew Judon; Right: DE Yannick Ngakoue Pundits React to No Tags for Matthew Judon and Yannick Ngakoue
The NFL s franchise tag deadline came and went on Tuesday afternoon and the Ravens elected not to tag pass rushers Yannick Ngakoue or Matthew Judon. It didn t come as much of a surprise to pundits given the reported price tags. Neither player was expected to receive the franchise tag, worth over $17 million in 2021 for a defensive end, with the Ravens limited cap room, The Baltimore Sun s Daniel Oyefusi wrote.
The Ravens weren t expected to use the franchise tag and they won t. OLBs Matthew Judon and Yannick Ngakoue will likely hit the open market next week. Jeff Zrebiec (@jeffzrebiec) March 9, 2021
