The deadline for NFL teams to sign designated franchise players passed yesterday, with no deal for Cowboys QB Dak Prescott, but a four-year, $50 million agreement for Titans RB Derrick Henry. Prescott is among 12 players who will play the 2020 season on the tag including DE Yannick Ngakoue, WR AJ Green and LB Matthew Judon.

Later in the hour, Michael Bumpus has a bold prediction that could land the Seahawks in the NFC Championship.
