Dallas Clark: Tagged (as expected)

Dallas Clark was given the franchise tag designation by the Colts today. Expect Clark to sign the tender, guaranteeing him $4.522 million. More likely, he and the team will come to terms on a long-term deal before the July deadline.

While this move was widely expected, it does officially leave the free agent market thin at tight end.
