The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

[WillH]

I have been in favor of transition tag, but now I'm thinking Franchising may actually be a no brainer.

Here's the thing. There's already been a lot of interest in Kirk connected to other teams, especially Denver and Cleveland, so you knows there are places that will pay him.

If they go into a tag and trade situation willing to take less than they hope to if it comes down to it, than I think the risk of another year on the tag is very small.

Someone will at least give up their 3rd or even their 4th for Cousins, right? So why let him walk when the absolute best you can get is a next year's third?

If you Franchise him, even if you could get absolutely nothing but a ham sandwich, if you think it's right for the team, you could always let him go to any team that wants him at that point, or maybe he'd see the lack of interest and finally sign long term.

The potential for teams to have to out bid each other is too great not try isn't it?

Essentially, they'd be betting a third rounder next year for a potential for a first this year.

For this not to work out there's only a few possibilities:

1. No one really wants Cousins.

2. Cousins refuses to consider offers from other teams so that he can play on the tag again.

3. Cousins doesn't like the options he has and decides to play on the Tag and see what his options are next year.

4. The skins somehow piss everyone off in a creative way that the make the other teams decide that the best revenge is to refuse to take Cousins out of spite.

I wouldn't put #4 past them, but really how likely do you think any of the scenarios are? Or am I not considering some other factor?
