A few thoughts on the New England Patriots not placing the franchise tag on safety Devin McCourty, instead assigning it to kicker Stephen Gostkowski, which was foreshadowed earlier in the day: Bottom-line view. The franchise tag for McCourty was $9.6 million and this tells us, more than anything, that the Patriots aren’t comfortable with that one-year cap hit for McCourty. Thus, McCourty is now free to test the open market and the Patriots, more than ever, are at risk of losing him to another club.
