The Facts: Mare, who was close to automatic last season for the Seattle Seahawks, has signed his franchise tag tender, according to Adam Caplan of Scout.com.
Diehards Line:By putting his name to paper, he guarantees his contract for the season at $2.814 million, and thus obligates himself to show up for the portions of the offseason program that are mandatory. Mare made 24-of-28 field goals last season and missed on only one try from inside 40 yards.
