Most unusual franchise tag scenario
Back in 2014, the Steelers placed the franchise tag on linebacker Jason Worilds. It was coming off what was then his best season of eight sacks. Worilds finished with the 7.5 sacks during his tag season but Pittsburgh chose not to sign him to a new contract. The team almost placed the franchise tag on him for a second season. But when they didn’t Worilds decided to retire at only 27 years old and devote his life to his religion.
