Report: Jets Willing 'To Pay Whatever It Takes' For Kirk Cousins

The Jets are willing to pay "whatever it takes" to lure quarterback Kirk Cousins to New York, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini.

The Washington Redskins has a chance to place a franchise tag on Cousins but the quarterback reportedly said he will file a grievance through the NFL players' union. A franchise tag would keep Cousins from hitting unrestricted free agency. The Redskins acquired quarterback Alex Smith in a trade with the Kansas City Chiegs and have agreed to a five-year contract extension.

The Redskins have from Feb. 20 to March 6 to place a franchise or transition tag on a player.
