We also have other contracts we ought to get done before the start of FA as well.

I'm starting to feel that a franchise tag means that Cousins is most likely gone. Because I have a feeling the Redskins have a trade partner already lined up. While it's somewhat possible that the 'skins might be doing this in hopes other teams will offer Cousins a lowball contract, I doubt this will work. If he doesn't sign a contract this week, I will almost bet Cousins won't be a Redskin after 2017.
