Washington places exclusive franchise tag on Cousins

Washington has placed the franchise tag on quarterback KIRK COUSINS for the second consecutive season. The team used the exclusive tag, meaning that Cousins is not allowed to shop himself to other teams in hopes of receiving an offer sheet to facilitate a trade. The door remains open for Washington to trade Cousins, but the team will control any potential negotiations on a deal. The two sides can also attempt to hammer out a long-term deal before the July 15 deadline.
