Until I hear it out of BA's mouth I wont even worry about that

They aren't fucking tagging him.

That's my line of thought.

I was pretty sure there was a clause about punitive tags, but I couldn't find it. Tagging him though would invite the NFLPA to argue collusion of the teams to restrict his free movement. It wouldn't be a slam dunk but we wouldn't be able to sign Smith for the expected contract with KCs FT amount on our books.

What will Washington do with Kirk Cousins? – ProFootballTalk

Good read. Really outlines all of the fallout if Washington tags Kirk again. Brings up the high chance that it blows up in our face if Cousins waits to sign, and if he signs, the Redskins would likely back out of the Alex Smith trade because of the cap hit.

Redskins aren't going to back out and although there won't be any official talk they may have a something quietly worked out.

Florio is a tool, he hates the REDSKINS which is why he will not use the name in anything he posts, hes a clown.

Don't worry about it. If they already have something worked out with Cleveland, then nothing can go wrong as long as The Browns get their paperwork in on time.

They only way I see the browns doing it is if they want a place holder for their rookie as he develops. I could see the Jets wanting to take a chance.

McCarron is now a free agent. He'll also be in the QB mix. He very well could end up on the Browns.

I'm hearing denver is looking at him and Mayfield which makes sense, AJ has not proved to be a starter in the NFL yet so I doubt many teams are sold on him.

Read an article the morning after it was said he may be tagged again. Writer claimed the NFLPA would file as well stating that the 'objective of the franchise tag is to provide teams the ability to retain players'. And that the deal for Alex Smith clearly indicates that retaining KC was not the objective. Read like a PC way of accusing them a 'tag abuse'.

Well I wonder what we'll do if one of the top QB's falls to us at 13? One, maybe even two of the four teams picking ahead of that needs a QB could go the FA route. Do we trade down w/ the Cards? Or do we take the QB? But this is another reason why the Smith trade was questionable. There's a chance that the KC situation w/ Mahomes happens here.

If Baker Mayfield is at 13 that would be hard to pass up.

Hard to see any of the top 4 QBs being available at 13
