3) understanding that team A and Cousins are comfortable with the terms, given that they'll both want a long term resolution, not a short term one

If all of these conditions are not satisfied, the tag will not be applied in the first place.

1). Cousins can do that just fine in FA, with no risk from a deal like this.

2). Why would Cousins and his new team agree to hand the Skins draft picks or players? Unless the Skins try to leverage the tag in a way it's not supposed to be used. I can just hear Mara blubbering now about "the spirit of the tag".

3). Again, Cousins and team A can do that just fine in free agency themselves.
