Today is the first day that teams can put the franchise tag on players. The Bears will not be exercising it on anyone. Will GB tag Adams? They're already tight up against the cap and probably can't afford to do this.

Not sure how accurate this is in the new league year. It also depends if the tag offer is exclusive or non-exclusive. The number for WRs is $19.1M.

Wish the mods would pin this until May 1.
Mikefive's theory: The only time you KNOW that a sports team player, coach or management member is being 100% honest is when they're NOT reciting "the company line".
