The Redskins could apply the tag and see what Cousins does, but that money counts against the salary cap, and I don't believe the Redskins would want to purposely handicap themselves. If there was no deal with Alex Smith, then I felt it was a strong possibility, but now that a deal has been agreed upon in principle, I don't even think there's a 20% chance of a tag and trade happening. However, I've been wrong once or twice in my life, so we'll see what happens. Personally, I'm just fine letting him walk and getting a 3rd rounder in 2019.
