Here are the 5 players the Bills have used the franchise tag on

List of players the Buffalo Bills have ever franchise tagged.

In 2021, the Buffalo Bills are not going to use the franchise tag. At the end of the season, Bills general manager Brandon Beane essentially said never say never… but it just wasn’t going to ever happen.

On Tuesday, the Bills reworked center Mitch Morse’s contract to find $2 million more in cap space. Per Spotrac, that move gives the Bills approximately $6.6M in cap space if the upcoming salary cap in the NFL is set at $185M.

The most-likely candidate for the tag this offseason was linebacker Matt Milano. According to Over The Cap, that tag would have cost Buffalo $15.7M.

Beane says maybe but the logic says no.

During his tenure as GM, Beane has yet to use to franchise tag. But in the history of the franchise tag which dates back to 1993, it hasn’t happened much for the Bills, in general.

Peerless Price joins in-state college coaching staff

Peerless Price joins in-state college coaching staff.

Tennessee national championship wide receiver Peerless Price is launching his coaching career at Tennessee State.

He will serve as a volunteer coach at Tennessee State for the 2021 spring season. Tennessee State kicks off the season Feb. 21 against Jacksonville State.

“Peerless will be a great addition to the staff,” Tennessee State head coach Rod Reed said in a press release. “He has played the game at a high level collegiately and professionally. He will provide a wealth of knowledge to this staff and we’re glad to have him aboard.”

During Tennessee’s 1998 national championship season, Price totaled 920 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns,

In the BCS national championship game win over Florida State, Price scored on a 79-yard reception.

“Preparation is the separation,” Price said in a Tennessee State press release. “That’s the way I’ve always went about life. If you don’t prepare you are preparing to fail.

“With that in mind I just feel like I need to invest and prepare the next generation of young people. Preparing them for the game of life and what it takes to be a successful athlete and human being.”
