Players that have received franchise tags
Patriots- WR Wes Welker
The Patriots were smart to do this and Welker has the most value in New England. He will be a top 10 WR in fantasy and obviously has more value in PPR leagues.
Chiefs- WR Dwayne Bowe
Bowe is inconsistent, but so is his QB play. He has a ton of talent and the Chiefs needed to keep him around.
Lions- DE Cliff Avril
Raiders -S Tyvon Branch
Eagles – WR DeSean Jackson
The Eagles have been rumored to have wanted to possibly trade D-Jax after franchising him.
49ers – S Dashon Goldson
Falcons – CB Brent Grimes
Ravens – RB Ray Rice
The Ravens would be wise to lock up Rice to a long term deal soon. Although Cam Cameron forgets about him in the gameplan, he is the best offensive player in Baltimore.
Cardinals – DE Calais Campbell
Bengals – K Mike Nugent
Seriously.
Browns – K Phil Dawson
Oh wait, I guess the cross town rivals couldn’t be outdone.
Bears – RB Matt Forte
Forte couldn’t get a big time deal, so he will play under the franchise tag for now. The Bears know how important he is to their offense.
Redskins – TE Fred Davis
The Redskins know he is their best pass catcher and whoever is under center in 2012 will rely heavily on Davis.
Saints – QB Drew Brees
Loomis changed his stance from calling Brees ‘good’ to ‘great’. Thanks Captain Obvious! Brees deserves big time money and hopefully will get it.

In the Paint 3/5 |
Rajon Rondo
Rondo put up a jaw dropping triple-double today with 18 points, 20 assists, and a career high 17 rebounds against the Knicks. Rondo has been a little up and down this season as a scorer, but these numbers are plain unreal despite the fact that he was only 7/20 from the field.
Brook Lopez
Lopez injured his ankle in tonight’s game and left the arena on crutches. He is traveling with the team to Miami which is a good sign, but The Nets are being very quiet on the severity of the injury.
Deron Williams
I guess his calf is A-OK. The Nets SG put up a monster 57 points tonight against the Bobcats which was a career and NJ record. He hit 16/29 form the field, 4/11 from 3 point range, and a unreal 21/21 from the line. I realize it was the Bobcats but what a night for Williams.
Dwyane Wade
Wade fouled out of Sunday’s game with the Lakers, but may have a concussion to go along with the loss. He stated that he had concussion-like symptoms like being light sensitive to the lights in the Staples Center. He will most likely have to pass some concussion test before playing against the Nets on Tuesday.
Manu Ginobili
Ginobili came back from injury today and was able to log 24 minutes for the Spurs as they took on the Nuggets on Sunday. He finished with 8 points, 4 boards, 5 assists and 2 3-pointers in a loss to the Nuggets. It was good to see him back in action and get plenty of minutes but look for the Spurs to continue to ease him back into action.
DeMarcus Cousins
Cousins is a bit of a head case as he was given a flagrant foul for throwing an elbow and he was hit with one in his own face which busted his nose up. We may find out as early as tomorrow if he will be suspended for any amount of time. In the meantime he finished the game playing through the injury and had a stat line of 16 points with 14 boards.

Marshawn Lynch Re-signs |
Marshawn Lynch was nuts in 2011 after a disappointing start to his career in Buffalo. The Seahawks signed him to a 4 year 32 million dollar deal with 18 million dollars being guaranteed. He has over 1,100 career carries at only 26, but he is in the prime of his career coming off his best season yet.
There is always the possibility of the maturity issues that plagued him throughout his career, but we have to hope those issues are in the past. Lynch should be a end of the first round/beginning of the second round fantasy pick for owners in 2012.
Lynch has given us 2 of the best runs I have seen, so here is video of both:

Seriously LeBron? Even with the retiring of the twitter handle @LaughatLebron, the Bron jokes just write themselves. Between having a five head, drinking Appletinis, having his Filet Mignon burnt and cut for him, choking at the end of games, and Delonte West, the hits keep on rolling.
Now, he shows up against the Lakers with a turtle neck and a man purse. C’mon man. D-Wade’s outfit isn’t much better, but at least he’s carry a real bag made for men.
This is one of those Insert Headline Here:
