Washington Times, Thom Loverro, Jan 5, 2017
"Cousins harbors resentments about his time here in Washington, dating back to his anger about being drafted by Mike Shanahan in the same draft as Robert Griffin III to his second-class citizenship in the building while RG III ruled the franchise to last year’s lowball long-term offer from the team... Cousins was asked Sunday following the (game) if he wanted to return to the team to play quarterback next season. He said, “It’s really not my decision to make. They chose to tag me (last year) and the same is true this year, so if they don’t choose to tag me (this year) then I think that question is answered at that point."
Doesn't sound like a guy too interested in staying outside of being forced by a franchise tag
Talk about a shitty situation of their own making. Let him walk in FA or tag him and then lose him after a season because he's even more pissed.
If they had any honor they would get on their hands and knees with a massive mea maxima culpa and beg him to stay. If he refuses to re-sign, let the dude go. But it is the Skins we are talking about...
I'm not well versed in the esoterics of the Franchise-Tag. Does he have any leverage if he gets tagged again?
