Problem is nobody would trade for Cousins unless they knew he was open to signing a long term deal with them. They'd want to negotiate the terms, and since at that point he'd be guaranteed $34.4M with the Skins, I think it's much more likely that he'd say nah no thanks I'll play on the tag again.

I don't think tag and trade is plausible. There's too high a probability that you're stuck with $34.4M this year, and right back in the same spot next year.

I would just make my best offer before March 6, and if he doesn't want it, then tell him it's been real.

gotcha...I think Cousins if he truly wants to "get out of here" would be willing to move on if he got a long term deal with a lotta guaranteed money...rather than just deal with all this again.

this has been mishandled from the get-go...should have listened to McC. But Bruce and Danny are bottom of the barrel.
