The Seahawks slapped their franchise tag on cornerback Marcus Trufant on Wednesday, NFL Network's Adam Schefter is reporting.
The move allows the team to continue discussing a long-term contract. As the franchise player, his one-year contract would be worth $9.465 million.
Trufant, who played in the Pro Bowl earlier this month, finished the 2007 season, his fifth in league, with seven interceptions.
