Free Agency/Franchise Tag thread 2011

Philadelphia Eagles franchise Michael Vick, give David Akers transition tag - ESPN (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=6123655)

No big shocker here, we can make this our FA/FT thread.

David Harris gets the franchise tag, too | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/02/15/david-harris-gets-the-franchise-tag-too/)

Little surprised about the Akers transition tag.

Logan Mankins got the franchise tag by the Patriots (10 million I believe)

David Harris expected to be tagged by the Jets

Woodley by the Steelers (unfortunately)

I think Greenway will possibly get tagged by the Vikings, while Rice gets a transition tag

Thanks for the link. Apparently it's something that hasn't been used very much in the recent past due to having a salary cap. I suppose we'll see it used more often in the future, but I'm sure the players don't care much for it.
