Washington Redskins franchise free-agent LB Brian Orakpo has no plans on signing his franchise tag tender offer at this time. The two sides have not had any recent negotiations about a long-term contract.

Footballguys View: Players have learned that their best bet on finding a new long-term deal is to not sign their franchise tender. Orakpo would lose all of his leverage in negotiations if he signed his tender right now. The team has until mid-July to come to a contract agreement.
