Source: Texans to franchise CB Robinson (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

The Texans plan to put the franchise tag on cornerback Dunta Robinson, the first time Houston has used the designation. A person familiar with the decision confirmed the move to The Associated Press on Thursday. The person requested anonymity because the team had not made an official announcement. The move gives Robinson a salary for 2009 at the average of the NFL's five highest-paid cornerbacks.
