Franchise tag deadline is today at 4 PM ET. 

 

Seems much better to have one topic where we all discuss this instead of starting half a dozen or more different threads today to discuss each one.

 

So far it looks like Dez, Demaryius, Houston, McCourty, and JPP are locks...stay tuned for any other potential guys such as Suh or Hughes.

 

 

@RapSheet: Officially: Dez Bryant, Justin Houston, Jason Pierre-Paul, and Demaryius Thomas have been franchise tagged, sources say.
