When the Washington Redskins finally secure a deal with quarterback Kirk Cousins, they’ll do so with an eye toward the contracts of other players on the roster -- not just free agents they want to sign this year, but those who are up after next season, too. It's why they must work to secure the right deal with Cousins so it doesn't hurt them for other deals. But that's something they've mostly done well the past several offseasons.
This season, linebacker Junior Galette also is a free agent and his deal could get complicated depending on his desires.
