Fan Questions:

(From Tony)

*Franchise Tag - Who is worthy?

*Which players do you think just don't like each other outside of football? For no reason I can point to, I feel like while Baldwin respects Russell, he may not be sending him a Christmas card. On the other hand Jimmy Graham was in Russell's wedding.
