Washington willing to use a third franchise tag on Kirk Cousins

Washington team president Bruce Allen said they would be willing to place the franchise tag on quarterback Kirk Cousins again next offseason.

What It Means:

"Yes," Allen said when asked directly about tagging Cousins for the third year in a row. "In the collective bargaining agreement, we really have one year and an option that we can do at the end of next season if we don’t get a contract." Cousins would be due an exorbitant $34 million in 2018 if Washington tags him for a third time next spring. It's possible, although highly improbable, that this can all be avoided if the team matches Cousins' contract demands by the July 15 deadline.

Cousins earned the sixth-most Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back among the 39 quarterbacks to drop back at least 100 times in 2016. Over the last two seasons, he's completed 68.3 percent of his passes while throwing 54 touchdowns and 23 interceptions.
