If all of these conditions are not satisfied, the tag will not be applied in the first place.

1). Cousins can do that just fine in FA, with no risk from a deal like this.
2). Why would Cousins and his new team agree to hand the Skins draft picks or players? Unless the Skins try to leverage the tag in a way it's not supposed to be used. I can just hear Mara blubbering now about "the spirit of the tag".
3). Again, Cousins and team A can do that just fine in free agency themselves.
