The Skins paid more than that to move up and get RG3. Is there that much Cap savings in the non exclusive tag?
*Edit- Once in the last decade and that was Matt Cassel whom the Pats didn't even want to keep just used him as trade bait.

Giving the FO the benefit here. By tagging Cousins with the non-exclusive tag, he can negotiate with other clubs.
Essentially, the FO is saying "Go ahead and talk to other clubs, if there is a better deal than what we have discussed, let us know."
