New York Giants impending free-agent WR Hakeem Nicks said he would be open to returning if the team placed the franchise tag on him this offseason.

Footballguys View: We love Nicks, but he hasn’t played well enough to earn a franchise tag this year. He’s going to hit the open market on a low note. He’s got “name” value, but he certainly didn’t do himself any favors this season by performing poorly.
