The Facts: For players who received the franchise tag, Wednesday afternoon marked the deadline to reach an agreement on a long-term contract. But for the one player who received the transition tag, negotiations can continue. That one player is Drake, who signed his transition tag but can continue negotiating a long-term deal with the Cardinals after today.

Diehards Line: The rules for franchise players and for transition players are not the same, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that the Cardinals and Drake are not close to a long-term deal. It seems likely that Drake will play this season on his $8.4 million base salary, but it’s not too late for he and the Cardinals to come to an agreement on a deal that goes beyond 2020. And if not? “I’m not too concerned about signing an extension currently,” Drake said on Twitter. “That’ll come in due time. Right now I’m focused on everyday getting in the best shape of my life to help this team play winning football. Everything else will run its course. Stay safe, wash your hands, wear a mask.”
