mungmee168 The Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks were the other two teams that decided to use franchise tags on their defensive players before the 2019 season.

On eligibility deadline day, Cowboys defensive end DeMarcus Lawrence is set to be tagged for another season, with the option to negotiate a long-term deal between now and July 15.
However, according to local media outlet The Star-Telegram, the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver has yet to sign the tag.
For his 2018 season, Lawrence had 10.5 sacks and forced two fumbles. If he plays on a franchise tag, he will earn a total of $20.5 million for the year.
The Seahawks also used the same condition on defensive end Frank Clark, making him the first player to be tagged since kicker Olindo Mare in 2010.
Clark’s last season was 13 sacks, 41 tackles, three forced fumbles and one interception. His estimated salary from his 2019 tag contract is $17.1 million.
The other four players who were franchise-tagged for the 2019 season were outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney (Texans), defensive tackle Grady Jarrett (Falcons), outside linebacker Dee Ford (Chiefs) and kicker Robbie Gould (49ers). ( mungmee168 )
