Why the 49ers should use franchise tag on Robbie Gould

With the completion of the 2018 season, San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and general manager John Lynch both stated publicly they would love to have kicker Robbie Gould back on the team for 2019.

And with the deadline of March 5 looming to get a new contract done prior to the start of free agency, is the franchise tag a real possibility for the Niners to look at?
