It sounds like two big-time defensive tackles have avoided the franchise tag. The Chiefs are not expected to tag Dontari Poe and the same goes for the Ravens and Brandon Williams, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.
Now that Kawann Short has been franchised, Williams and Poe stand as our Nos. 3 and 4 available defensive tackles, respectively. Calais Campbell might be a better player than both of them right now, but we’re expecting the duo to outearn the Cardinals veteran based on age. Poe will turn 27 in August while Williams just turned 28.
After inking Eric Berry to a lucrative long-term contract on Tuesday, some believed the Chiefs would apply the franchise tag to Poe. However, it sounds like the Chiefs feel the potential one-year, $13.468MM deal is too pricey for the former first-round pick.
As good as Williams is, he never really seemed to be a candidate for the franchise tag. The Ravens will presumably work to re-sign the defensive tackle, but any deal would be at a lower average annual value than the one-year tag.
As a KC fan it is a relief to hear we aren’t going to spend our cap on him. Though tough at first to comprehend, his play has made him easily replaceable
