Cousins Seeking 26.5 Million A Year

[eaglesnut]

5 years from now you will all be 100% convinced that he would have been worth it.

True story.

the Redskins would be highly unlikely to use the franchise tag again in 2018 as it would come with a 44% raise over his 2017 salary, meaning they would have to pay Cousins a $34.5 million salary. Instead, the Redskins could use the transition tag. That comes with a 20% raise and would bump his salary to $28.8 million.

The down side to the transition tag is that Cousins would be free to negotiate a long-term deal with other teams, with the Redskins having the right to match any offer. However, unlike the non-exclusive franchise tag, if the transition tag is used and the Redskins decide not to match another team's offer, Washington would not receive any compensation (a team using the non-exclusive franchise tag would be compensated two first-round draft picks).

If the Redskins do use the transition tag next season and do not sign Cousins to a long-term contract, he would end up making $72.7 million over three seasons (2016-18).

Thanks skinfan, your explanation really confirmed what I thought, just wanted to make sure. So if we use
the transition tag on him next year and then match any offer that he gets. He then is locked up in a LTD with the Redskins.

JP Finlay has said the same thing - As long as Bruce Allen is here, Cousins will not sign a long-term deal.

Maybe this year Kirk will have his facts straight and rub Bruce on his head after a game.
