49ers Will Franchise Franklin

According to sources in the NFL, the San Francisco 49ers will franchise defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin. With only 10 days left for teams to franchise players, the 49ers will continue trying to work out a long-term contract for Franklin, who signed with the 49ers in 2007. He started in all 16 of the games played by the 49ers last season and had 36 tackles. One league source highly doubted that a long-term contract could be formed, but the franchise tag for Franklin could be the first in a series of franchise tags for defensive tackles in the NFL: the New England Patriots might franchise Vince Wilfork, while the Pittsburgh Steelers might franchise Casey Hampton.
