Titans tag TE Scaife as franchise player (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The Tennessee Titans slapped the franchise tag on tight end Bo Scaife on Thursday, just a couple hours before the league deadline. Scaife was the Titans' leading receiver in 2008 with a career-high 58 catches, a number that ranked him seventh among NFL tight ends. The franchise tag means Scaife will earn $4.46 million for 2009, the average salary of the five highest-paid players at his position.
