We’re past the deadline for teams to sign franchise-tagged players to multi-year contracts and two of the players who were tagged this year landed new deals on Friday.
Broncos linebacker Von Miller signed a six-year, $114.5 million deal that features $70 million in guarantees, which is a record for a non-quarterback. Ravens kicker Justin Tucker got in just under the wire with a four-year, $16.8 million pact that came a day after it looked like negotiations were headed in the wrong direction.
Bills tackle Cordy Glenn signed an extension earlier in the offseason while the Panthers rescinded the tag they placed on cornerback Josh Norman, who has since signed with the Redskins.
The Redskins did not sign their own franchise tag recipient, quarterback Kirk Cousins, to a long-term deal. Cousins will play for $19.9 million this year with the cost of tagging him rising to $23.9 million for the 2017 season should the team decide to go down that road again. Cousins has signed his tender.
There was more optimism at points that the Chiefs and safety Eric Berry would find common ground, but they never got a deal done. Berry, who returned from lymphoma to have a strong season in 2015, will make $10.8 million. Berry has not signed his tender at this point and both can earn their full salaries by reporting just before the start of the regular season.
Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson is set to make a hair under $14 million under the terms of his tag while Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery is set to make just under $14.6 million. Both players have signed their tenders already.
UPDATE 4:32 p.m. ET: This post initially included Jets defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson among those who did not sign new deals, but the Jets announced after the deadline passed that a long-term deal was struck.
