Washington Redskins impending free-agent QB Kirk Cousins will receive either the franchise or transition tag from the Redskins, according to a league source.

Footballguys View: Washington isn’t going to let Cousins hit the open market. The franchise tag for quarterbacks would pay Cousins nearly $20 million on a fully guaranteed one-year salary. It would also give Washington until July 15th to come to a new long-term deal with the young passer.
