Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News considers free agent LT Will Beatty an option for the Giants' franchise tag.
Vacchiano "hears" that re-signing Beatty is the Giants' highest offseason priority. The franchise number for Beatty would be about $9.7 million, but the Giants' preference is a long-term deal. Vacchiano doesn't envision the G-Men using the franchise tag at all, but Beatty would be the most likely option if the team feels it'd be a steppingstone toward an extension.
