The Washington Redskins won't have to worry about the possibility that Kirk Cousins will miss offseason work as a protest against the franchise tag.

Cousins accepted the organization's franchise tender on Wednesday, per agent Mike McCartney. The quarterback will officially sign Thursday morning, NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported.


Once the tender is signed, Cousins will forfeit the right to negotiate with any team willing to consider the possibility of giving up two first-round draft picks in an effort to pry the former Michigan State star away from the Redskins.

Whiskey Fox Trot ..... i REALLY wanted Cousins to be able to negotiate with other teams bc I though it would help convince him to come down off his number.

Oh well, he's happy, im happy.

Now the the only waiting game is to see how high of a ranking Cousins gets w Madden '17.

the problem is, once a team negotiates a deal, they're on the hook for it or 2 picks. and the agent is doing the talking, not the skins, so he's not going to volunteer info that doesn't help him.

either way, off 8 games, it would be a huge mistake to trade two 1sts and pay for price for a guy. not saying it would have been impossible, but... i mean, you saw how fast he signed that thing.

I never thought a team would actually offer a deal, but I did think teams would inquire and kick the can a bit and Cousins team would see no one would offer north of 20 per. Perhaps that would temper Team Cousins demands a bit.

Good point that the Skins FO probably would not be privy to any contract talks w other teams. Unless another team leaked it to them ....

Someone offers me 19.9million see how fast I sign - then beers for everyone on the Warpath.
