We wouldn't get compensation with the transition tag, only with the non exclusive franchise tag, which would be 35.

Being able to match any offer accepted would be great though.

Oh man, that changes my opinion altogether. I don't want to use any tag on Cousins then. They need to resign him or move on then. Time to shit or get off the proverbial pot.

The transition tag could be a good way to sign him long term while allowing the FO to save face and be sure not to overpay him in the eyes of the league...
but again a smart business decision from Kirk could be not to sign any offer and take the 28M.

But I'd take the chance because I think he is a sensed person and would eventually accept a legit LTD offer.

Yeah, he'll probably get paid that much as part of his regular contract anyways. However, it puts us in the same predicament if we don't sign him to contract. Then he leaves year after next and we waste that money we could have used to sign a multitude of the players that would be on team in 2019 too. I'm ready to lock him up or draft his replacement.
