With the CBA vote pushed back to Saturday, the NFL is now pushing back the franchise tag deadline until Monday. Teams will have until noon Eastern that day to use the franchise tag on one of their unsigned players. The legal tampering period to talk to free agents will still begin Monday afternoon, with the start of the new league year next Wednesday.
Old rivals will meet in this year’s NFL Hall of Fame Game. The Dallas Cowboys will play the Pittsburgh Steelers in the annual preseason opener August 6th in Canton, Ohio.
