Franklin loses out on long-term deal

San Francisco 49ers defensive tackle Aubrayo Franklin will not receive the long-term deal he is looking for.

The deadline for players who were given the franchise tag to receive a long-term contract has passed.

Franklin has still not signed his tender and may not elect to do so, enabling him to sit out of training camp.

So long as the team does not give Franklin the franchise tag for the second year in a row, he will become an unrestricted free agent.

The 49ers may want to see Franklin put together back-to-back seasons before throwing lot of cash his way.
