The NFC West could be pretty open this year and if the Niners can win just one more game, it might be enough to win the Division.

Yeah, the Niners have been planning to apply the tag to him for a while. But reading a bit more from the beat writers the Niners want to see him put together back to back years before they give him the big long term contract. He is 30 years old and undersized for a traditional NT in a 3-4 so they want to see what happens when the other teams scheme for him a bit more. If he can handle that then he will get a longer term contract offer.
