Anybody who has been following along so far this offseason should not be surprised, but Pro Football Focus was not a fan of the Pittsburgh Steelers’ decision to place the franchise tag on Bud Dupree, the sixth-year outside linebacker how posted his first season with double-digit sacks in his career in 2019.
The site has put up a number of articles over the course of the winter making its case against the Steelers committing what turned out to be in the ballpark of $16 million to a pass rusher whom they view as average at best, at one point arguing that they should instead use that money to go after Hunter Henry, who also would later be franchise tagged.
