Could it happen? Sure I guess. Highly likely though? Doubt it.

Yes, because the Redskins aren't walking away from this without something in return. They either want to keep Kirk Cousins, or they want something in return to look as if everybody gets something from the deal. To simply let Cousins walk if he balks at a LTD would admit defeat and failure, and that isn't something Daniel Snyder likes to do. So, unless you hear about a LTD being struck with Cousins soon after the Super Bowl is over, you're going to start seeing the likelihood of some sort of trade with another team, and the 'skins can't do that unless they already have Cousins locked up and off the market. The 'skins can't make such a deal on a transition tag, and I don't believe they get anything of value with a non-exclusive tag this year (I could be wrong). So that's why I say it's highly likely. I'm not saying that is 100% going to happen, but it's highly likely if you don't see a LTD struck quickly.
