Spoke with CB Dunta Robinson and he's heard nothing. That tells me they have no plans to franchise him by Feb. 25 deadline.

CAUTION: McClain is trying to use insight with his reporting here... last year recall that the Texans were negotiating with Robinson before they tagged him. While it seems more likely they might just let him go to free agency, I still don't rule out the possibility of a tag. I think if you tag him, you bought yourself some trade bait.
Plus the Texans can elect to rescind the tag, though if I'm Robinson, I don't pull that crap on sitting out camp this year since (a) he'd be getting a nice 20% increase, and (b) if the trade offers dried up, the Texans could pull the tag long after the teams have spent their offseason budgets.
fyi - deadline to tag is 2/25, 3pm CT.
