Problem is nobody would trade for Cousins unless they knew he was open to signing a long term deal with them. They'd want to negotiate the terms, and since at that point he'd be guaranteed $34.4M with the Skins, I think it's much more likely that he'd say nah no thanks I'll play on the tag again.
I don't think tag and trade is plausible. There's too high a probability that you're stuck with $34.4M this year, and right back in the same spot next year.
I would just make my best offer before March 6, and if he doesn't want it, then tell him it's been real.
