Colts Use Franchise Tag on P Pat McAfee

Today the Indianapolis Colts announced that they have placed the franchise tag on their punter Pat McAfee.

By giving a player the franchise tag, a team basically says it thinks a player deserves to be paid among the top five players at the position. McAfee is certainly on the borderline for deserving that distinction, booting a career-high 48.2 yards per kick — the fourth-best in the league among qualifying punters. (VIA SBNATION)

Normally punters either just get resigned or not signed; instead the punter who was drafted in 2009 by the Colts, will make  $2.7 million this season.
