Washington placed the exclusive franchise tag on quarterback Kirk Cousins Tuesday morning, and that may or may not mark the end of things for this offseason. The exclusive tag means nobody else can negotiate with Cousins, which means he cannot sign an offer sheet anywhere. However, Washington is allowed to work with other teams to negotiate a potential trade of Cousins.
ESPN reported on Monday that the 49ers were the only team with which Cousins would sign. However, NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport seems to think a trade will not happen this year.
