The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... Hillis, who had a tumultuous 2011 season, is unlikely to be franchised by the Browns. But they'll still try to re-sign him before he hits the open market March 13 at 4 p.m.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Now that the Browns have signed linebacker D'Qwell Jackson to a five-year, $42.5 million deal, they can use the franchise tag on someone else. It's doubtful the Browns will use it at all, but if they do, Plain Dealer staffer Mary Kay Cabot believes they'd be more likely to use it on kicker Phil Dawson than Hillis. The Browns are interested in re-signing Hillis after he finished the 2011 strong. But the two sides were far apart when talks broke off midseason.
