Kirk Cousins will try to maximize his situation again

VIENNA, Va. -- Some takeaways after Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins' question-and-answer session with fans.

    • With Cousins saying he’s content to wait until March to do anything, one likely outcome could be that the Redskins will place the franchise tag on him again. At that point, they’ll try to either work out a long-term deal or trade him. I highly doubt he plays on the $34.5-million tag figure, but it would buy the Redskins time to finally receive resolution. It’s a risky maneuver because it requires finding a trade partner; my guess is one or two possibilities will emerge -- teams that perhaps aren’t in position to find one via the draft.
