If you had Ravens kicker Justin Tucker as the first player to receive the franchise tag this offseason, you win your office pool. You also should look into finding some hobbies.

Either way, Tucker's agent, Robert Roche, made the announcement on Twitter Friday:

It's no surprise that Tucker was tagged; he's been one of the NFL's best kickers since coming into the league in 2012. For his career, he's converted 88 percent of his field-goal attempts, including 98 percent from 30-39 yards and 87 percent from 40-49. Tucker has also never missed an extra point.

According to former agent Joel Corry, writing for CBSSports.com, kickers receiving the franchise tag are expected to make $4.5 million in 2016.

But fully expect the Ravens to try to sign Tucker to a long-term deal.

"We've had some (contract) discussions, but we will franchise Justin if we do not get a deal done," general manager Ozzie Newsome said this week. "Even if we do franchise him, we will continue to work to get a deal done."

In the meantime, let's all celebrate with a little Hotline Bling. Tucker would want it that way.
