Interesting that San Diego would franchise Sproles. Sounds like they are ready to move on without LT with a possible trade.

If it felt like franchise tags were flying at an unprecedented pace this year, it’s because they were.
In the 17 years of free agency, the most players ever to be franchised in one offseason was 11, which happened in 2005 and 2008. But this year, a whopping 14 teams used their franchise tag — and that number might have been higher had some last-minute, long-term deals not been worked out.
Here are the fine 14:
S Oshiomogho Atogwe — Rams
WR Antonio Bryant — Buccaneers
QB Matt Cassel – Patriots
LB Karlos Dansby — Cardinals
K Shayne Graham — Bengals
LB Leroy Hill — Seahawks
RB Brandon Jacobs — Giants
P Michael Koenen — Falcons
DE Julius Peppers — Panthers
CB Dunta Robinson — Texans
TE Bo Scaife – Titans
RB Darren Sproles — Chargers
T Max Starks — Steelers
LB Terrell Suggs — Ravens
