Franchise tagging Terrelle Pryor may be Browns smartest play

The Cleveland Browns entered the offseason with a long list of priorities, two of which involved free agents Jaime Collins and Terrelle Pryor.

While the Browns moved relatively quickly to reach a deal with Collins, a former Pro Bowl linebacker acquired from the New England Patriots in a mid-season trade, the situation with Pryor has moved much slower and much quieter.

That could be seen as a positive, as ongoing contract talks generally only start to filter out when a player or his agent is unhappy with what they are hearing from the team, and subsequently find a sympathetic reporter’s ear to bend about the situation.
