06:34 PM ET 03.04 | The Tennessee Titans are not going to use their franchise tag on tight end Jared Cook after all, according to Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean. The news comes less-than an hour prior to the 4 p.m. ET deadline to designate a player for the tag on Monday. Without tagging Cook, it appears the Titans will not use the tag on any player this offseason. Additionally, Wyatt reported that the Titans were not willing to go through a prolonged debate regarding which position Cook would be tagged as. Cook has been very vocal that he believes he should be designated as a wide receiver under the franchise tag. This would pay him approximately $4.5 million more than he would earn if he were designated as a tight end.

He was the 20th ranked tight end in the NFL. I guess that's the statistical definition of mediocrity.

At the risk of seeming Creepy I'm answering my own post to say that was 20th in yardage.
