Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Steelers have been negotiating with both players, but they haven’t made significant progress ahead of Thursday’s deadline to apply tags to players. ... Reed is seeking a deal similar to what Sebastian Janikowski got from the Raiders — with $9 million guaranteed. This is the first year that teams can apply an extra tag, per the uncapped year. At this point, Pittsburgh appears to be the only team likely to use multiple tags.
