The NFLPA and the NFL Management Council have agreed to push the deadline for franchise/transition tagging players to Monday morning at 11:59am Eastern.
If the new CBA passes on Saturday night, teams will have one tag available to them, their choice of the franchise tag or transition tag. If the CBA does not pass on Saturday night, teams will have both tags available to them to use.
So the new cutoff point for the Brandon Scherff negotiations will be Monday morning, at which time the Skins will almost certainly apply the franchise tag if by that point they've not reached a long term deal with him.
