I mean, that's what they just gave for the top-rated QB in the league so how do they think anyone's going to pony up something more than that(two 1st's on a franchise)? Plus, are they really going to risk being on the hook for $35M if they franchise Cousins? Seems like they're just trying to weaken their bargaining position. by Elvis 6 years 3 months ago Total posts: 38769 Joined: Mar 28 2015 Los Angeles Administrator Re: Alex Smith traded to Washington POST #32 Not to mention, if they lose Cousins in FA, won't they most likely get a 3rd in compensation?I do not see the tag happening...

I assume he is until the beginning of the league year so maybe Washington can make a trade before then? But Cousins would have to agree to sign with the new team or they'd be screwed.So, Washington really doesn't have any leverage realistically speaking. In the end, they're making a lateral move at QB, not losing a draft pick(3rd for a 3rd) and giving up a promising DB. So, for pretty much screwing up the situation with a home grown, cultivated, franchise QB they're getting off pretty lightly.Some teams have to suffer for years without a legitimate QB. by dieterbrock 6 years 3 months ago Total posts: 11512 Joined: Mar 31 2015 New Jersey Hall of Fame Alex Smith traded to Washington POST #34 TOPIC AUTHOR Elvis wrote:Not to mention, if they lose Cousins in FA, won't they most likely get a 3rd in compensation?I do not see the tag happening...Not necessarily.
