Good morning and welcome to the Titletown Report. Today is the deadline for NFL teams to use the franchise and transition tags. The bad news for the Green Bay Packers is that many of the top free agent edge rushers are now unavailable.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the Dallas Cowboys will use the franchise tag on star edge rusher DeMarcus Lawrence.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reported that the Seattle Seahawks are expected to use the franchise tag on edge rusher Frank Clark, and Pelissero also reported that the Atlanta Falcons have franchise tagged defensive tackle Grady Jarrett.
