Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag

The Browns are not going to have a chance to get Cousins. Not unless they were willing to give up a king's ransom, and even I don't believe the Browns would do that. That said, I have no doubt that these "rumors" were leaked in order to make Cousins a little nervous that he could be shipped off to Cleveland, in order to force his hand a little quicker with the negotiations. That said, Cousins has pretty much said that the tag dictates how his agent is going to negotiate, so if the Redskins would just simply offer close to that number, I think Cousins signs. Why wait until July 14th? Just get it done now so that this is no longer a distraction.
