With the deadline looming large over players currently under the franchise tag, it appears as though several teams and tagged players won't be finding common ground before 4 p.m. on Friday.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, several big-time players are expected to hit the deadline without coming to long-term extensions with their respective teams.
Absent unlikely change, no extensions expected for franchise players K. Cousins, Eric Berry, Alshon Jeffery, Mo Wilkerson, Trumaine Johnson.

As ESPN's Dan Graziano wrote last month, "Players who don't have long-term deals by that deadline must play the whole 2016 season on the franchise tender and can't talk about a long-term contract again until 2017."
If each of these players doesn't agree to a long-term deal, this is what they will make during the 2016 season:
Kirk Cousins: $19.95 million
Eric Berry: $10.806 million
Alshon Jeffery: $14.599 million
Muhammad Wilkerson: $15.701 million
Trumaine Johnson: $13.92 million
