LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – The Washington Redskins announced today that they have placed the franchise tag on quarterback Kirk Cousins.

He set single-season team records for attempts (543), completions (379), passing yards (4,166) and 300-yard passing games (seven). Cousins threw a touchdown pass in all 16 regular season games, becoming the first player in team history to throw a touchdown in all 16 games in a season since the adoption of the 16-game schedule in 1978.
