Seahawks’ window to use franchise tag to keep Frank Clark opens, long-term deal still in play

We are about to find out how close the Seahawks are in contract negotiations with their leading sack man.

Tuesday, the NFL’s two-week window opened to designate franchise- and transition-tag players for 2019.

Frank Clark is a primary candidate to get one, specifically a franchise tag, to keep him from entering free agency when the NFL market opens March 13.

Clark, 25, has an expiring contract. Seattle’s leading sack man with 13 last regular season and another one in the playoff loss at Dallas last month has yet to agree to an extension.
