A great find by Jon Heath of Broncos Wire yesterday in what was basically a footnote in Albert Breer’s column covering mostly happenings with the Indianapolis Colts. Essentially, Breer noted that Kirk Cousins would quickly file a grievance to block the Washington Redskins from using the tag.
By the way, if the Redskins attempt to franchise Cousins, my understanding is that his camp will quickly file a grievance to block tag, based on Washington violating the spirit of the rules, which dictate that players are tagged as a mechanism for teams to buy time in getting a long-term deal done.
