Sources; The #Cowboys plan to utilize the franchise tag on defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa if a long-term deal is not reached by Tuesday. No final decision but that is the current expectation.

The tag is projected at $25.1 million. pic.twitter.com/xVj4IK1f2z

Not surprised, it happens every year.  Here’s what I mean.  Sites post their top 50 or 100 free agents list?  Bengals fan drools over possibility of signing some off this list.  As tag deadline nears some of these guys get tagged.

Said bengals fan also cites list of teams that are over the cap or have so little cap space they can’t sign their own guys.  We can swoop in and get them.  Said teams work voodoo magic to create space, sign their guys.

Free agency hits.  First day is full players “setting the market” while bengals tend to sit back.  We justify this by saying I can’t believe those guys got paid that much.  This board collectively holds its breath until something, anything is done.

Don’t even get me started on mock draft season and draft weekend.
