Monday’s deadline for franchised players to agree to long-term contracts passed without deals for the New York Giants’ Saquon Barkley, the Las Vegas Raiders’ Josh Jacobs and the Dallas Cowboys’ Tony Pollard.

The three running backs were the only players who received the franchise tag not to have reached a long-term contract, and they had until 4 p.m. ET Monday to get one.

They will now have to play the 2023 season on their franchise tenders, worth $10.091 million for running backs.

 

Eight Former Northwestern Players Retain Lawyer

Eight former Northwestern football players have retained noted civil rights attorney Ben Crump and a Chicago-based law firm to pursue legal action against the school for hazing incidents that took place within the program.

Crump and the Levin & Perconti firm say they have discovered “a vast array of incidents of abuse” within the Northwestern program.
