Seahawks mailbag: Do players like the franchise tag? Should Seattle pursue Landon Collins or Antonio Brown? And more

The NFL Combine is over, free agency will officially begin next week. That means there’s a lot of good questions out there about the Seahawks, so let’s get to them.

This is a mix of some questions asked via Twitter and e-mail. You can ask yours via Twitter at @bcondotta or via e-mail at bcondotta@seattletimes.com.

Let’s get to it.

Q: As I’m new to this, what is the franchise tag and why would they use it? Do players generally not want it??

A: This is a good question given that the Seahawks had not used the franchise tag since 2010 on kicker Olindo Mare before placing it Monday on Frank Clark.
