****** "Official" 2012 Franchise Tag Thread ******

[Deus Irae]

I thought we might as well have one thread listing all the franchised players.

DeSean Jackson has the honor of getting tagged first:

On the 11th day, the first franchise tag rested. On the shoulders of No. 10.

The Eagles announced on Thursday afternoon the placement of their franchise tender on receiver DeSean Jackson.

Son of a gun.... one of my possible "gets" is apparently going to be out of the running

Raiders have informed S Tyvon Branch he will be franchised.

Good job, D.I. This will be very helpful as the franchise tags start pouring in over the next few day. Thanks.

Yikes. If Goldson gets tagged, then upgrading at safety will be difficult.

this is why (even tho i do it constantly) it's to hard to do mock drafts before FA. Branch and goldson hit the market maybe you don't value barron as high. Branch and goldson get tagged and it changes the landscape at safety big time.

Atlanta has tagged CB Brent Grimes. Titans are reportedly tagging CB Cortland Finnegan. Lions are still negotiating with Cliff Avril but will tag him on Monday if no deal. SF expecting to do same with Goldson.

I don't like Finnegan, but his likely absence from the open market should drive the price of Carr up. Bummer.

Schefter says no tag for Finnegan/

[Ron Sellers]

Grimes being tagged by Atlanta means Curtis Lofton will probably hit free agency. He's a 4-3 MLB so the Pats are not likely to have any interest, but another team going after him perhaps opens the door for another player the Pats would prefer, with that much less competition elsewhere. Sort of a domino effect to the chess match of free agency, with everyone having only X amount of money to spend.
