According to Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Dallas Cowboys are considering using the franchise tag on outside linebacker Anthony Spencer. A first-round pick out of Purdue in 2007, Spencer has been a full-time starter opposite DeMarcus Ware the last three seasons, totaling 196 tackles, 17 quarterbacks sacks and eight forced fumbles with one interception and 10 passes defensed. The 6-foot-3, 257-pound Spencer was the 26th overall pick of the '07 draft and earned $1.001 million in base salary in 2011, the final season of a $9 million rookie contract. The franchise tender for a linebacker is projected to be worth around $9 million in fully guaranteed base salary 2012. NFL teams may begin using the franchise tag on February 20, with the deadline to use the tender falling on March 5.
