The 2021 NFL Draft, starting on April 29 at 8 p.m. ET., is an event where dreams come true for many prospects. It gives franchisees the opportunity to build their roster and improve off of the previous season.

A franchise tag is a one-year deal that NFL franchises can use once every year. It can be designated to one player on each roster. The franchise tag window opened on Feb. 23 and ends Mar. 9 this offseason. The window occurs now because it is the stage right before free agency.
