Agree, and from a team-planning perspective, the Redskins kind of need it to be that way. They need to lock him into a contract so they can understand how much cap space they'll have over the next three years. It informs their planning with regards to resigning their own players and their planning with regards to signing new free agents on the open market.

At some point you need price certainty so you can form a cohesive plan. Right now they're forced to react to the uncertainty of the one year deal.

I bet if they had Cousins under a LTD last year, Zach Brown would have been signed for longer than a one-year. The price-certainty is worth quite a bit when it comes to forming a plan.
