The Buffalo Bills did not use the franchise or transition tag by Monday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. The news most closely affects defensive end Jerry Hughes, who is the highest priority among the Bills' 10 free agents. Hughes will now be free to negotiate with other teams beginning Saturday, and can finalize a new deal elsewhere as soon as next Tuesday. This doesn't mean the Bills aren't continuing to strike a long-term deal with Hughes. Instead, it means the Bills decided that assigning Hughes the franchise tag, which would guarantee him a one-year, $14.
