The Detroit Lions will reportedly place the franchise tag on defensive end Cliff Avril if they can't reach an agreement before the March 5th deadline to apply the tag. With that in mind Avril was asekd by Chris McCosky of the Detroit News if he would miss camp if he was tagged and Avril said, "Probably." According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free-Press, Avril said at the Super Bowl this month that he does not want to be tagged and would prefer to sign a long-term deal with the Lions.
