From Rotoworld:
Beat writer Matt Barrows expects the Niners to retain NT Aubrayo Franklin with the franchise tag.
No surprise here. Franklin is one of the more underrated defensive linemen in the game, helping to free up Patrick Willis for all those tackles. We could get an idea of the team's long-term plans for Franklin by what they do in the draft.
Impending unrestricted free agent NT Ryan Pickett confirmed that he wants to stay in Green Bay.
"Hopefully we can get something done because I love it here," said Pickett, who was the anchor for Green Bay's No. 1 run defense in 2009. It's already been reported that re-signing Pickett is among the Packers' top priorities, so it sounds like a deal should be hammered out. Free agency opens on March 5.
