The Dallas Cowboys have placed the franchise tag on linebacker Anthony Spencer for the second straight year.
Spencer started all 14 games he appeared in last season and posted career- highs in tackles (106) and sacks (11) to earn his first trip to the Pro Bowl as an injury replacement.
Since being selected 26th overall by Dallas in the 2007 draft, Spencer has compiled 361 tackles, 32 1/2 sacks and 12 forced fumbles in 90 games (67 starts) over six seasons with the Cowboys.
Typical of how a giddy little brother of a probable Hall of Fame middle linebacker would react, Casey Urlacher couldn't stop gushing over Brian Urlacher's endless accomplishments in 13 NFL seasons.
Like he did to so many NFL running backs in 13 years, Brian Urlacher hit Chicago hard Wednesday morning.
Whenever Brian Urlacher does something to confirm he hates attention as much as he loves football - grunt through a news conference, breeze by adoring fans, retire via Twitter - my mind goes back to 2003 in a corner of the Bears locker room.
