49ers' Goldson strongly opposes franchise tag
Dashon Goldson - DB - San Francisco 49ers
Feb. 5, 2013 - 2:25 PM ET

49ers FS Dashon Goldson "made it clear" he does not want the franchise tag for the second straight season.

"There's no security in it," he said. "I've been in this league six years now, going on seven. I think I've done what I had to do to deserve a second contract, period." Tagging Goldson again would cost the 49ers $7.5 million. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Goldson is "somebody I think you reward." Last offseason, Goldson was said to be seeking Eric Weddle money -- five years and $40 million. He's our No. 2 free-agent safety behind Buffalo's Jairus Byrd.
