Rams don't intend to use franchise tag but want to keep Dante Fowler

THOUSAND OAKS, Calif. -- After three years, and nearly $42 million, it appears the Los Angeles Rams' franchise tag spending spree is over.

"At this point, we don't plan on using it," Rams general manager Les Snead told reporters Thursday at the NFL scouting combine. "We've got a few days to determine it, but right now, we definitely do not plan on using it."

The deadline to tag a player is 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday.

Former Rams cornerback Trumaine Johnson played two seasons on the franchise tag, and earned $30.7 million, before he signed with the New York Jets in free agency in 2018.
