Regardless of these interviews, I think Cousins wants a long term deal with the Redskins. I'm going to wait until the climate calms to throw a specific number out there but we have the cap space.

It's in Cousin's (and more specifically his agent's) best interest to generate some buzz about him leaving. Having a public campaign makes the Redskins look bad if they don't give him a legitimate deal. It's extra leverage on the negotiating table, and the next few weeks/months expect it to heat up.
