Jacoby Jones, Reggie Bush and AJ Hawk were cut by their respective teams at some point last week. We already knew this, but I thought it was worth putting it here.
Franchise tag day has arrived. Our own DT was tagged, as were Dez Bryant and Justin Houston

Miami can match any contract offer to TE Charles Clay. No compensation if 'Fins choose not to match. "Poison pills" eliminated in 2011 CBA.
The Broncos had been rumored to be interested in Clay, so this may change their plans. Also:

Patriots placed their franchise tag on kicker Stephen Gostkowski, per a league source.
