The NFL free agency quarterback market is kind of a mess right now, with few decent options available. Jay Cutler, Tony Romo, and Tyrod Taylor could join a market that includes Colin Kaepernick and Mike Glennon, but the proverbial big fish is unlikely to be leaving this year.
Kirk Cousins is not exactly the ideal big fish, but for this market, if he were an unrestricted free agent without the franchise tag, he would be getting the biggest contract. However, Washington placed the exclusive franchise tag that guarantees him $24 million, but does not let him negotiate anywhere else.
