Re: Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag

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.
I mentioned this before, I truly believe that the market for Cousins and his salary demands might dry up. You have a handful of teams that would probably make a run at him, but at what price? Some of the teams that might want him may look at what Prescott has done, decide to draft Rosen or one of several talented guys coming out, coach them up and have them play on their rookie deals. That's probably a savings of 20 million or so.
