3) understanding that team A and Cousins are comfortable with the terms, given that they'll both want a long term resolution, not a short term one

If all of these conditions are not satisfied, the tag will not be applied in the first place.
Very same points I argued prior to the Alex Smith deal the other day. The assumption would be the Redskins already have a trade partner in place who has already agreed, in principle, on the details of the trade. But, Cousins would also have to be willing to go along with it, and I think this is where it would be tough.

However, now, with Alex Smith on board, I don't see it as likely. If it happens, it's a HUGE risk. Cousins would have to be willing and open to go along with it, and he hasn't shown any reason to want to help the Redskins unless he's actually starting quarterback.
