San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Aubrayo Franklin has yet to sign his franchise tender. Several sources indicated he's planning to do so in the coming weeks, certainly before the season according to Jason La Canfora of NFL.com. Franklin would like assurances that he won't be franchised in the future, according to sources. The 49ers aren't concerned about Franklin's absence, though, because they fully expect him to play this season and know he's working out hard and staying in shape. Source: NFL.com
