ARLINGTON — Don’t hold your breath on a long-term deal between the Washington Redskins and quarterback Kirk Cousins. Even Redskins President Bruce Allen, who is optimistic that a deal will get done, thinks the likelihood is that people will be waiting and wondering up until around the July 15 deadline.
“There’s been constant dialogue, I don’t want to say it’s every day,” Allen said Monday. “I do believe that July 15th, the league deadline, really, is going to be the driving point to it, but it’s ongoing.”
If Cousins does not sign a deal before the deadline, he will play under the $24 million franchise tag in 2017.
