The NFL salary cap was set at $255.4 million last week, providing teams with extra money to work with. The Dallas Cowboys and New York Giants are not expected to place the franchise tag on running backs Tony Pollard and Saquon Barkley, respectively. Derrick Henry is not expected to be tagged by the Titans, and Austin Ekeler will test free agency for the Chargers.

For a 2nd year in a row, the #Cowboys are facing a possible shakeup in the RBs room — both Tony Pollard and Rico Dowdle set for free agency. “[Pollard is another] player you want around, but that will ultimately boil down to the business side of things." - SJ FA pool is…
Saquon Barkley’s return to the Giants will require him having a better feel of his market value this time around. “Saquon may be in a different place now than he was then in terms of understanding the market and the business side of it.” https://t.co/COt5eMbR2T
Running Backs will be on the move this offseason 😎 https://t.co/2Ll3oiS9R4
Joe Schoen said on PFT Live today that the 2024 salary cap of $255.4 million was a curveball, and gives the Giants more flexibility after they expected a cap of around $243 million. https://t.co/U1tnkASorq
One notable amendment from Joe Schoen: He says the franchise tag isn’t completely off the table for Saquon Barkley. It’s clearly not the preference but the increased salary cap “changes philosophy and how you attack things.”
We just talked to Giants G.M. Joe Scheon. He was pleasantly surprised to hear the cap was moving to $255.4M. He expected $243M. He did not rule out using the franchise tag on RB Saquon Barkley.

NFL Insider Predicts Saquon Barkley Will Remain a Giant https://t.co/BtgJS1Isyj
Saquon was offered a lot of money at during last years bye week and after the season. He turned down both. Don’t think because the cap went up he’s going to get the same offers.
I think the Giants will not use the franchise tag on Saquon, as we reported last week, and they'll let him hit the market with the understanding from both sides that he's determining his value. Ultimately, he'll bring a number back to Giants and they'll decide. Will it be that…
