The Arizona Cardinals assigned the franchise tag to linebacker Chandler Jones.
The Cardinals made it clear they weren't going to let Chandler Jones hit free agency, so this doesn't come as any surprise. Jones had 11 sacks last season and was the third-best 3-4 edge rusher in the NFL, according to Pro Football Focus.
The Cardinals finished last season ranked ninth in schedule-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points allowed per play.
