In the 2012 offseason, 21 teams used the franchise tag, which included the Bengals using theirs on a kicker (Mike Nugent) for the second time in four years. This year, only eight teams decided to use the tag, undoubtedly a symbol for the cap situation around the league. Here are the players that were tagged: Buffalo Bills: Jairus Byrd, Safety Chicago Bears: Henry Melton, Defensive Tackle Cincinnati Bengals: Michael Johnson, Defensive End Dallas Cowboys: Anthony Spencer: Outside Linebacker Denve...
