Chiefs place franchise tag on All-Pro Houston | |
(AP) -- The Kansas City Chiefs signaled they have no intention of parting ways with Justin Houston on Monday, moving swiftly to place the franchise tag on their All-Pro pass rusher. The Chiefs made the decision to use the non-exclusive designation well ahead of the afternoon deadline. The 26-year-old Houston set a franchise-record with 22 sacks last season, just a half-sack short of the NFL record. He also made 68 tackles while playing the final year of his rookie deal. MORE | |
