I would say it's more likely now than before the draft: they didn't draft a QB, they didn't trade him like a lot of people expected...
Not matching his offer would be crazy, they just HAVE to!

Even Cooley and Kevin seem to have lost hope of a LTD before the deadline, I don't get why.

Even Bruce saying they are ready to tag him a third time (which make them sound delusional) could really well be the Redskins trying to get some kind of leverage in the negotiation...

Looking at the Von Miller situation from last year, it seems that none of these deals are ever done well before the deadline.

As Andrew Brandt puts it, deadlines spur action.

I honestly feel that a deal will get done, but it will be at the 11th hour. If they have to tag him again next year, so be it.
