The clock is ticking: Kirk Cousins still hasn’t been given a franchise tag

Since Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins season ended, speculation immediately began with the 28-year-old quarterback and his next contract.

Cousins is set to become an unrestricted free agent on March 9.

With the NFL’s franchise and transition tag time frame opening on Feb. 15, the Redskins still remain mum on their plans with Cousins.

Washington still has many options when it comes to negotiating with Cousins. The exclusive negotiating window is open with him until March 7, and that still leaves the possibility of a long-term deal.

However, the Redskins still hold have the option of giving Cousins the franchise tag or a transition tag.
