All leverage rests with ownership in these cases. One of two things happens here:
1. Contract extension gets done
2. Cousins gets tagged.
If tagged, club and player have until July to get a contract extension done. If not signed by then, he plays under that tag for the 2016 season.
What if he does not agree to an extension after the 2016 season?
He can be tagged a second time and the cycle repeats itself.
Forget about RG3 talk of keeping him around. That ship has (or will sail). Ownership has all the chips in these contract negotiations and there is no way Cousins is NOT playing QB for Washington unless he gets hit by a truck.
