ASHBURN, Va. -- The Washington Redskins and Kirk Cousins continue to say the same thing: They want a long-term deal with one another. The reality remains the same as well: It’s going to be difficult.
Cousins said on 106.7 The Fan Monday morning that he was content playing on the franchise tag for one season, earning $19.95 million.
“If I don’t play well next season, I don’t deserve to be back,” Cousins said. “I don’t deserve a long-term deal. So I want to go out and earn it.”
