Today marks the beginning of the 2008 NFL free agency and trading period. I have put together a number of charts outlining the various players by position who are eliglible free agents. As new deals are made and announced, I’ll update the sheets. I started with the QB’s today and will have sheets for RB.WR/TE offensive and Defensive positions as well.
Below is a list of players who have been given the franchise tage by their respective teams
Jared Allen DE Chiefs
Stacy Andrews G Bengals
Nmamdi Asomugha CB Raiders
Jordan Gross T Panthers
Ken Hamlin S Cowboys
Albert Haynesworth DT Titans
L.J. Smith TE Eagles

Corey Williams DT Packers
Not on this list are Colts TE Dallas Clark, who was tagged then signed a long term deal and Steelers T max Starks who received a transition tag.
