Tuesday (Feb. 18) marks the beginning of a two-week window in which NFL teams can place the franchise tag on soon-to-be unrestricted free agents. Once the March 4 deadline passes, no players can be franchise tagged.
For the Seattle Seahawks, this has historically been a non-story on two fronts: they rarely tag their own players and they virtually never as much as look at outside free agents who could potentially get tagged.
