Report: Jaguars' Robinson won't be tagged, will become free agent

The Jacksonville Jaguars have told wide receiver Allen Robinson that they won't be using the franchise or transition tag on him, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.

As a result, he will hit the open market on March 12 unless a long-term deal can be reached.

Allen missed nearly all of the 2017 season due to an ACL tear in Week 1, but is still viewed as one of the top available free agents and is two seasons removed from a 1,400-yard, 14-touchdown campaign.

The Jaguars will likely still try to keep Robinson but may struggle due to the number of teams with significant cap space and holes at receiver, like the San Francisco 49ers and Indianapolis Colts.

Fellow receiver Marqise Lee will also become a free agent, so Jacksonville could be forced to choose between the two.
