Summary

A room full of heroes -- Dan Hanzus, Marc Sessler, Gregg Rosenthal and Chris Wesseling -- analyzes Monday’s deadline to tag franchise players, breaking down which deals were surprising, who was snubbed and the implications of using the less-noted transition tag. Elsewhere, the gang sorts through all the news out of San Francisco, where the 49ers re-signed wide receiver Anquan Boldin. However, the Niners might find it a distinctly more difficult prospect to keep some other faces of the franchise happily under contract. Could coach Jim Harbaugh be on the way out? How much money does Colin Kaepernick want to stay? Is either story as exciting as the heroes' suggestions for a new extra point system? Find out on the brand new “Around The League Podcast” and join the conversation on Twitter: @NFL_ATL or #NFLATL.

0:19.4	What up boys. Hey Dan. Happy Monday, if there is such a thing.
0:23.7	It's been a busy Monday. Mark pulled the, uh, I'll take off the day where the franchise
0:29.2	tags had to be officially handed out. Yeah, I'll make the schedule. So he comes
0:33.4	any waltz, any, you know, you look relaxed, ran a 5k today. Did you? Mm-hmm. A race
0:39.8	out of nowhere with no training. No, on a treadmill. Oh, against no one. A personal 5k.
0:44.8	That's right. That's not a 5k. That'd be like saying a distance wise. It was a 5k. That
0:49.7	connotates a race. But still I see one. I see where you're coming from and I remarked
0:55.4	right before we began today that you look different or something going on. Right. You
0:59.6	have the glove. A man that is getting healthy. Well, Dan and I go to the same gym. I haven't
1:04.8	seen you there, but I assume that's because you were here. Yeah. Well, I was in a 5am
1:09.2	at the gym. I did two or three hours and then I came right here. Yeah. I can get, I
1:13.1	smell your scent when I'm there. I can tell that Dan's been there. I don't even know
1:15.7	what that means, man. I know. All right. So yes, today is a big day. Um, this was the
1:21.8	deadline Monday for franchise tags to be handed out and they were handed out, but not
1:28.2	a lot of them. So we're going to get into that. We're going to start there, actually. We're
1:32.2	also going to do some other news around the league. And then we're going to get back
1:35.7	into the laboratory and go over the top 10 wide receivers, uh, free agency primer, get
