Albert Breer of NFL.com passed along the tag numbers on Feb. 29:

The franchise-tag figures, in particular, are interesting, as they play a major role in whether several prominent players hit free agency or are given the tag by their teams. 

For many teams that used the franchise tag, doing so allows them more time to negotiate an extension with a star player this offseason. That's a common practice, as the Dallas Cowboys used the franchise tag on star wideout Dez Bryant last season before agreeing to a long-term extension.
