NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A person familiar with the decision says the Tennessee Titans have decided not to use their franchise tag on anyone, a move letting tight end Jared Cook and kicker Rob Bironas hit the free agent market.
The NFL deadline to designate players with the franchise tag is 4 p.m. EST Monday. The person spoke to The Associated Press Monday on condition of anonymity because the Titans had not announced their decision.
Cook would receive $6.06 million this season if the Titans use the franchise tag on him as a tight end. A receiver designated a franchise player receives $10.5 million, a difference setting up a dispute over what position Cook actually plays.
Bironas would have earned more than the $2.97 million kicker designation.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- The sounds of country music take over the City of Baton Rouge as the Bayou Country Superfest brings some of the genre's biggest names to LSU's Tiger Stadium for a Memorial Day holiday jamfest.
Headlining Saturday are Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Darius Rucker and Aaron Lewis, the former frontman for rock band Staind. The two-day festival concludes Sunday with performances by Zac Brown Band, Luke Bryan and The Band Perry.
Festival producer Quint Davis says the talent and free fan fest held before the nightly concerts help to entice attendees. In its fourth year, the festival drew 75,000 people last year.
Visit Baton Rouge executive vice president Renee Areng says Superfest has encouraged people to travel to Baton Rouge on a traditionally sleepy weekend.
