Kirk would have to sign it first, and then the team would have to grant Cousins permission to speak with other teams about trades. If no deal is struck to every party's liking, then the Redskins would be stuck with a $34.4M cap hit this year, and have until July 15 to negotiate a long term deal.

thanks for the clarity!

I think id still tag and negotiate as a trade only if we couldn't get a long term deal with cousins first. once the tag is applied id tell everyone we are trading him for fair compensation
