Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Negotiations with Clark, whose contract voided after the 2007 season, heated up toward the end of the season, but without resolution. alks with Clark resumed in the past week, but with no deal in sight, the Colts felt it necessary to designate him as their franchise player. The one-year franchise tender for a tight end is $4.522 million. If any team tries to sign him, they would have to surrender two first-round draft choices, which is unlikely. The Colts and Clark have until mid-July to try to reach a long-term deal or he'll play under terms of the franchise tender.
