With the deadline for franchise tags passed, there were no big surprises as teams locked up their prize talent. Free agency is only a week away, and it seems like a good time to take stock of those who are sticking around and others that might test their value on the open market.Tom Julian has assessed whats happened... Ins & outs Our live blog has all the latest news TaggedVon Miller (LB, Denver Broncos) Miller is tagged All the details on Broncos star This seemed like a no-brainer for Denver. The Super Bowl MVP was the heart of one of the most ferocious defences in the league last year, particularly throughout their playoff run.However with limited cap space, and a host of other talent approaching free agency, the Broncos may struggle to keep that powerhouse defense together. Von Millers reaction to winning the Super Bowl Mo Wilkerson (DE, New York Jets)New Yorks premier defensive talent is staying put... for now. Although the Jets have used the franchise tag on Wilkerson, they might still be looking for a trade partner.The Jets are short on cap space and keeping the tagged Wilkerson will cost them almost $16 million. However, he is only 26 and one of the best defensive players in the game. With the Jets roster in a relatively strong position for a playoff push, it may be worth keeping the Pro Bowler around. Mo Wilkersons future is far from certain despite his tag Josh Norman (CB, Carolina Panthers)The cornerback was influential in the Panthers road to Super Bowl 50, and the franchise were keen to keep him as part of their plans for the upcoming season, using the non-exclusive tag.Carolina will look to sign Norman to a long-term deal in Charlotte, but in the meantime if another team wants to sign the 28-year old, they will have to give up two first round picks as compensation. Josh Norman made his mark this season with several stunning displays - here are his best moments. Kirk Cousins (QB, Washington Redskins) Cousins tagged Full story on Redskins QB The Redskins have ensured their starting quarterback wont hit free agency next week by using the non-exclusive franchise tag. It allows the organisation to take another season with Cousins and work out whether he is their long-term quarterback.For his part, Cousins will be paid like a superstar, collecting $20 million on a one-year contract - a mere 2900 percent increase on last years $660,000 deal. Kirk Cousins visited Sky Sports to play a quickfire game called you like that Other tagged players: Alshon Jeffery (WR, Chicago Bears), Justin Tucker (K, Baltimore Ravens), Cordy Glenn (T, Buffalo Bills), Olivier Vernon (DE, Miami Dolphins), Eric Berry (S, Kansas City Chiefs), Trumaine Johnson (CB, LA Rams).The best of the restThere is still a breadth of talent not yet committed to one franchise or another. Some players, like Broncos quarterback Brock Osweiler, will likely get signed before free agency starts next week. Others will almost certainly get the chance to speak to other teams.Malik Jackson (DT, Denver Broncos)Jackson had about as perfect a year as any player could hope for coming into free agency. With 34 tackles, 5.5 sacks and a defensive touchdown in Super Bowl 50, the defensive end is in a very strong position to negotiate a monster deal.Expect the Chicago Bears, where Jacksons former coach John Fox now operates, and the Oakland Raiders to compete for Jacksons signature. Malik Jacksons Super Bowl touchdown after Von Miller stripped Cam Newton Matt Forte (RB, Chicago Bears)The Bears have parted company with their veteran running back, eight years after drafting him. In that time, Forte rushed for over 8,000 yards, the second highest total in franchise history.In todays free agency market, running backs do not command such a powerful salary, however there are opportunities for Forte to market his experience. Look no further than the New England Patriots, who may consider the 30-year-old a perfect pairing with Dion Lewis. Watch Matt Forte run it for a touchdown against the Green Bay Packers. Alex Mack (C, Cleveland Browns)The highly-rated centre has voided the last three years of his contract with the Browns, foregoing the $8 million-per-year guaranteed money. He will look to become the highest paid centre in the game, and the possibility of breaking the $10 million-per-year mark, the first time in his positions history, is conceivable.The Jaguars, who almost signed Mack two years ago, are likely to be in the hunt again. With a wealth of cap space and a leaky defense, it could be a perfect partnership. Where will Alex Mack end up? Kelechi Osemele (G, Baltimore Ravens)Osemele is considered one of the best guards in the NFL and at 26, his stock is still rising. The Ravens are in a cap bind and with no way out except to let players test their value, Osemele will look to get the contract he believes he deserved.The New York Giants may be the ones willing to meet his demands. With a shortage of talent at right guard and a mountain of cap space, they could go all out for Osemele. The Oakland Raiders and Cleveland Browns will also be watching closely, as they both look to improve on the defensive side of the ball. The Ravens are struggling to keep Kelechi Osemele (left) Other free agents of interest: Doug Martin (RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers), Jason Pierre-Paul (DE, New York Giants), Danny Trevathan (LB, Denver Broncos)In other newsSam Bradford has signed an extension with the Philadelphia Eagles. The quarterback is the perfect fit for new Head Coach Doug Pederson, and will sign a two-year deal worth $36 million ($26 million guaranteed). Bradford staying in Philly Full details on Eagles QBs new deal Joe Flacco has signed a new three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens which reportedly included a $40 million bonus, the highest-ever in the NFL. Flaccos deal will give the franchise a little breathing space in the cap department, with Flaccos previous contract counting for almost $29 million. Ravens extend Flacco deal Full story on his new contract Jacksonville Jaguars back-up passer Chad Henne has scored a bumper pay-rise without taking to the field. The veteran QB, who didnt play a snap last year, has signed a two-year contract extension worth $8 million. Not bad if you can get it.

After slipping from the summit during the week, the Gunners overcame struggling Crystal Palace 2-0 on Sunday thanks to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlains second-half brace. STILLWATER, Okla. -- For the second straight year, No. 11 Oklahoma State heads into its regular-season finale against its in-state rival, No. 7 Oklahoma, with a chance to claim the Big 12 title.Last year, Oklahoma State was missing several key starters because of injuries, with quarterback Mason Rudolph hardly playing, and wound up losing 58-23 on its home field. Oklahoma claimed the Big 12 championship and advanced to the College Football Playoff.This time, coming off their most complete performance of the season, a 31-6 win over TCU on Nov. 19, followed by a bye week, the Cowboys (9-2, 7-1 Big 12, No. 10 CFP) are well-rested and determined to finish the job Saturday at Oklahoma (9-2, 8-0, No. 7 CFP).Were a healthier football team now, not only physically but mentally, OSU coach Mike Gundy said. We were a little bit beat up at this time last season. These guys, hopefully, weve instilled in them the importance of whether you have a tough loss or a big win, you have to continue to move forward. I think the biggest factor is were healthy and were in a position to practice at the pace that we need to practice in order to play at a high level.For the players, knowing that the Big 12 title is on the line brings out different mental approaches. One is to ignore the consequences of the result and just go out and play.We just look at it as any other game, try not to get too caught up in the hype or the emotions of it, said senior running back Chris Carson, who rushed 17 times for 146 yards and a touchdown against TCU. But this is great, playing for a Big 12 championship for the second year and hopefully looking for different results this year.Another mindset is to embrace the importance of the game and enjoy the high-stakes aspect of it.This is what you want as a senior, to be in a game with the Big 12 championship on the line, said tight end/fullback hybrid Blake Jarwin, who has 16 receptions for 180 yards and a touchdown this season. Its a new opportunity to go and maybe get a Big 12 championship. Im excited to go out there.As painfful as it was seeing the Sooners celebrate on their field last season, the Oklahoma State players point out that the motivation to win is not really about returning the favor.ddddddddddddIts not really a revenge factor, its done, but its really more of a learning experience, junior linebacker Chad Whitener said. Watching film from last year, really going back and studying, seeing what they did right and what we did wrong.Not necessarily revenge, but we know that we lost it last year, and we want to win, added Carson, who gained 38 yards on seven carries in last seasons showdown. Thats just the motivation -- it doesnt matter who we play, we just want to win the Big 12 championship.Saturdays game between Oklahoma State and Oklahoma marks the sixth time in the last nine seasons that the annual matchup known as Bedlam will determine the Big 12 champion.Besides last years game, a 33-24 Oklahoma win in 2013 prevented Oklahoma State from claiming the title and allowed Baylor to emerge as champion. In 2011, Oklahoma State defeated the Sooners 44-10 to win its only Big 12 championship and deny OU a share of the title.In 2010, Oklahomas 47-41 victory prevented the Cowboys from advancing to the Big 12 championship game, and in 2008, OUs 61-41 win enabled it to advance to the Big 12 title game.Gundy is proud that the annual in-state battle between the rivals has become such an important game on the national college football landscape.You have schools that are having fantastic seasons, have very exciting players, and give the state a lot to think about, Gundy said. We have 4 million people here in the state and its a big game. When they put up the college football standings and you have Oklahoma and Oklahoma State in the top 10, thats a tremendous financial advantage, marketing, for both universities in the state of Oklahoma.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25Wholesale HoodiesNFL Shirts OutletJerseys NFL WholesaleCheap NFL Jerseys Free ShippingWholesale Jerseys CheapCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaWholesale JerseysWholesale NFL JerseysCheap NFL Jerseys ChinaCheap NFL Jerseys ' ' '
