7 years agoThe Washington Redskins have all but ruled out chances of them placing the franchise tag on impending free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins for a third consecutive season, according to senior vice president of player personnel Doug Williams. “He’s a free agent for sure,” Williams said, adding that he “doesn’t think” the organization will opt to tag Cousins and pay him a guaranteed $34.5 million in 2018. The Vikings are now considered the favorites for Cousins, but the Broncos and Jets will also be in the mix. Cousins will no doubt be the most coveted free agent on the market, and he'll receive big money no matter where he lands. In Minnesota and Denver he'd surely be a strong QB1 target, but his upside would be limited with a weak Jets roster.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
