The Seattle Seahawks are unlikely to use a franchise tag on defensive
tackle Sheldon Richardson, according to a published report. Richardson,
acquired from the New York Jets just prior to the 2017 season, is
coveted by the Seahawks, NFL.com reported, but not at the $14 million
salary he would receive with the franchise tag. Seattle has used the
franchise tag on a player only once since Pete Carroll has been head
coach -- and that was back in 2010, when it was applied to kicker Olindo
Mare. Carroll said during his season-ending news conference that it
would be "huge" to have Richardson return to the team. The 6-foot-3,
294-pound Richardson started 15 games for the Seahawks last season,
registering.
