If Kirk Cousins chooses not to resign with the Redskins after the 2017 season, which one of these teams will try to sign him?

That $53m guaranteed deal Washington offered is a lot less impressive when you realize Cousins will make $52.6m if he plays the next two seasons under the franchise tag for them.

This is also why you don't wait until zero hour to sign a young QB with extremely obvious talent. Cousins gonna get paaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiidddddd.

His only has leverage was with Washington - and by not signing a long-term deal with them, his leverage is gone. Yes, he will become a free agent, but any team that signs him won't care at all about the franchise number - it means nothing to them. They will offer a contract that matches how he rates in the NFL He won't get Drew Brees or Aaron Rogers money, but the next tier down. Nobody will sign him short term because no one wants to be saddled like Washington was.

Washington blew it... and now, so did Cousins. Leverage is gone.
