LOL, don't be so upset if Cousins leaves. The Redskins have to work with the bed that they've made for themselves. They did not sign Kirk Last year, and he now wants a top dollar contract.

Redskins brass don't want to pay him a top dollar contract. The best option for the Redskins is to non-exclusively tag Cousins. This works for two reasons... First, if a team signs him to an offer, that team creates a market rate for us to match and keep Kirk long term. Two, if we let him go, we get 2 likely high first round picks.

Lastly if no one bites on Cousins, it takes away some of his leverage and allows us to negotiate a long term deal before the deadline period.

High level negotiations are not for the faint of heart.
