Redskins | Kirk Cousins not a lock for tag

Updating previous reports, it’s not a foregone conclusion that the Washington Redskins would place the franchise tag on impending free-agent QB Kirk Cousins if a long-term deal can’t be reached by March 1. The Redskins want to keep Cousins, but only at the right price. Placing the tag on him would cost them roughly $20 million for one year.
