Bluedude Sportstalk SPORT SHORTS Take 202...Former STEELERS OLB Woodley cut by the Silver & Black!...DEZ of Cowboys Nation to get Franchise Tag!...Broncos WR Demaryuis THOMAS what's next as it has to be "Franchise Tag" as well? #RaiderNation #CowboysNation #UnitedInOrange

After what looked to be a promising career and possibly a Steelers for a very long time has become a fight for your NFL Career. Through numerous media outlets former Steelers Star OLB Lamaar Woodley was cut by the Oakland Raiders as he lost his job to more durable faster and younger backers in Raider Nation. "Wood" who was way more effective in his earlier days in Pittsburgh was reportedly at 300 el bees his last season with the Black and Yellow. That's Nose Tackle Weight not 3-4 OLB Weight trying to play in space!

The Dallas Cowboys seemingly stalled on that Dez Bryant contract extension will reportedly franchise tag Bryant by the deadline on Monday March 2nd. I know there is a lot of speculation about the supposed tape at a Walmart Parking Lot in Lancaster, Texas that has yet to surface but that was 2011. The Cowboys always knew about the tape and Dez played and the Cowboys have moved on. If your going to pay Bryant pay him as there is no cloud over his or the Cowboys head.

Moving out to Broncos Land Denver with QB Peyton Manning I assume back in the fold for 2015 has to be leaning more towards giving star WR Demaryius Thomas the "Franchise Tag" rather than a long-term extension. I think this would be a solid move for the Broncos because after Manning mile High leaves after the 2015 Season who needs a WR making that kind if cash with no one to throw to him...right! Broncos and Elway got lucky getting manning but there won't be another such QB out there on the free agent market in 2016 trust me on that!
