The Redskins are expecting to resume talks with quarterback Kirk Cousins and his agent to negotiate a long-term deal once the current period of free agency dies down, President Bruce Allen said Friday.
The month began with the Redskins tendering Cousins a non-exclusive franchise tag, which the quarterback signed shortly after to stay in Washington for another year.
“We thought the best thing to do was the franchise tag. It made it clear where we stood with him and we had told his agents that’s what we were going to do,” said Allen, attending the Loudoun School-Business Partnership, which honored the Washington Redskins Charitable Foundation with an award.
