The Facts: Multiple league sources have told CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora that Golladay, scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent, will get the franchise tag after his relationship with the prior regime in Detroit got rocky over prolonged extension negotiations.
Diehards Line:
Many teams view him as the best WR option out there, but keeping him on the tag at around $16 million, when the open market may bear around $19 million, would make a lot of sense. Could this be an eventual tag and trade? According to La Canfora, people around the league wouldn't rule that out with the Lions rebuilding and trying to amass picks.
