The way things are presently, here are the options available. Just figure the over/under for each possibility:

1. Deal gets done and signed before July 16th. Drama is over. KC gets his contract. Washington gets their franchise QB.

2. July 16th comes and goes. KC plays under current tag. 2018 gets the Transition Tag. Which means KC can take other offers, but Washington has the option to match. If they match. KC gets his contract. Washington gets their franchise QB. If Washington does not match offer, KC is gone. More importantly, Washington gets NOTHING in compensation.

3. Plays under tag in 2017. Becomes FA in 2018

4. KC gets traded before July 17, 2017

I think if option 1 does not transpire, than KC will not be in Washington next year. But the 2018 draft is supposed to be deep at QB.

If option 2 or 3 occurs and KC signs with another team, you need to get a new GM. If KC leaves and the Skins get ZERO in return, that is a criminal act in the NFL and the GM should be shot.
