Dansby Tagged Again

For the second straight year Arizona Cardinals linebacker Karlos Dansby has been slapped with the franchise tag, although long-term contract talks are still on-going. Dansby was given the non-exclusive tag, which allows him to receive offers from other teams. But the Cardinals retain right of first refusal and would receive two first-round picks in return if they declined to match the offer.

The 6-year veteran out of Auburn, racked up 119 tackles last season, along with 4 sacks and 2 interceptions. The franchise tag this year guarantees Dansby a salary of $9.7 million in 2009 should he sign it.
