Patriots Using Franchise Tag On Joe Thuney
5 years agoThe New England Patriots are using their franchise tag on left guard Joe Thuney on Monday, according to a league source. Thuney is coming off his best season as a professional and was going to be considered the top offensive guard if he would have reached the open market. The tag for guards last season was just north of $14 million. The 27-year-old has started every single game in his four seasons in the NFL, and he's become a staple for the team's offensive line. If he's blocking for quarterback Tom Brady in 2020 remains to be seen, though.
