Marcus Trufant Is the Seahawks' Franchise Player, Now They Must Sign Brown

The Inconvenient Truf will stay in Seahawks blue: NFL Network is reporting that the Hawks have franchise-tagged him.

Fallout: The Hawks must now sign Josh Brown to a long-term contract by Thursday or risk losing him to free agency.

Probably Trufant gets the franchise tag because the Hawks were closer to a contract agreement with Brown.
