It’s widely been speculated that the Pittsburgh Steelers will ultimately place the franchise tag on outside linebacker Bud Dupree by this year’s deadline to do so, which is now March 12. Now with the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine on the books, reports are now surfacing that Dupree is indeed expected to get the franchise tag from the Steelers in the next 10 days.
According to Jenna Laine of ESPN, league sources have told her that the Steelers are expected to place the franchise tag on Dupree.
Overall, Laine’s Monday morning report on the Steelers tagging Dupree isn’t a bit surprising.
