Washington QB Kirk Cousins signed his franchise tender this morning. He is now tradeable.

Though Washington has shown NO inclination of trading Kirk Cousins to date. But now that Cousins has signed, Washington can review options.

Source close to the Cousins camp tells me as long as Bruce Allen is team president , he will NOT negotiate a long term deal. #redskins
