AFC West Potential Tag Players
Denver Broncos
The Broncos don’t have any free agents that are obvious fits for either the franchise or transition tag designation.
Kansas City Chiefs
DE Jared Allen
The Chiefs are expected to tag Jared Allen with an eye toward signing him to a long-term deal before the July 15th deadline. Allen had 15.5 sacks this season and has averaged 11 sacks per season over his 4-year career. Pass rushers of Allen’s ability simply don’t get into the open market very often.
Oakland Raiders
CB Nmandi Asomugha
Rumors persist that Asomugha will be franchised if the team can’t come to terms on a long-term deal before the tagging deadline. The 5-year veteran is considered a cornerstone of the team’s young, energetic defense and; given the price of free agent corners, it might not be as shocking a decision to tag him as one might think. That said, Asomugha is coming off a disappointing season following his breakout 2006 campaign. The team wouldn’t be tagging Asomugha for the player he already is; but rather for the player they think he can become.
San Diego Chargers
The Chargers don’t have many key free agents, and aren’t likely to utilize their tag designations.
