The NFL franchise tag window has opened, allowing teams to place tags on their unrestricted free agents. The San Francisco 49ers are considering this option but are unlikely to utilize it this year due to financial constraints. Potential candidates for the tag include Talanoa Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw, yet the team may prefer to allow these players to test the free agent market. The costs associated with a non-exclusive franchise tag could deter the 49ers from using it, especially considering their other financial commitments.
