You sign, sure, you get paid $34.5M guaranteed. Cousins has been quite vocal about saying that money is not the most important thing to him, he wants to win, and he wants FA. Once Captain Kirk autographs the tag, he's Washington's meat once more. They can trade him to anyone, for any return. Even Schefter points out that Cousins holds a lot of leverage by refusing to sign if Washington tags him.

I'm Cousins, I want the best chance to win. It's not Stafford I'm facing, it's the Lions D which has been consistently "meh" for a decade except for 2014. Likewise, it's not Rodgers, it's the Packers D, "meh" since 2010. I'm on the Vikings, I'm on the other side of a D that is pretty stout, sent Rodgers home for a plate, and shut Stafford down pretty well last season. I look at the game they lost to the Lions and say "7 points, yeah, I could do more". Meanwhile, the Chiefs have been fielding a pretty good D (it fell off this year and they're trying to regroup), the Chargers pass rush is evil and they're a team on the upswing that might be tough for a while. And I'm personally skeptical, but the Raiders just hired a coaching legend. Vikes went to the Championship this year, man! Denver went to play Madden! Nit: do you mean Derek Carr?

He’s played this whole thing very well from a financial perspective, and I fully understand HE can other priorities but the one year guaranteed for well above market rates is appealing to ME too. I wonder how much everybody is just posturing here, but we’ll never really know... It’s a serious gamble for the Redskins, but saying it and doing it are two different things. This should be interesting, even if the Bills are not involved.

You may be right, but my thought is the Skins would say, “We’ve got 3 teams all willing to trade for you and if you do, you can help us make the pick of your next destination. Furthermore, you’ll get the new contract up front. If you don’t, you sit and we don’t pay, up to you”. So, Cousins has leverage, but not to the point where he completely determines his own fate without some input from FO.

I'd think Cousisns would rather be signed longterm which is what would be worked out after the tag is signed, Cousins would then work out a long term deal with said team and the 34.5M deal would be voided.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted February 4, 2018 Posted February 4, 2018 Given the Redskins' recent history, this will likely blow up in Dan Snyder's face if it occurs.

They should just let him hit UFA and recoup a comp pick in the '19 draft.

If Cousins signs the Franchise Tag, wouldn’t the Skins eventually have to cut him, anyway, if they can’t find a trade partner? Edited February 4, 2018 by JaCrispy

Doubt it would come to that, but they'd be under the gun to find a suitable team that he'd agree to negotiate a long term deal with.

If Cousins signs the tag the money is guaranteed. If the skins cut him they can designate a post June cut which would split the dead cap over this year and next. To tell you the truth...............I hope the skins are stupid enough to do this. Cousins signs and sits...................the way the skins have treated Cousins with low ball offers (especially in 2016) no team would blame him. To give a perspective of how much 35 million is, Josh McCown has been in the NFL for 16 years and "only" has made a total of 39 million. Sorry Jay, not ranting about your post it's just this whole Redskin thing of trying to get something from a problem they created just gets to me. Snyder is such an idiot.
