QB Cousins likely won’t negotiate deal until March

-

Kirk Cousins said he is likely to wait until March for any possible negotiatio­ns with the Redskins, indicating he would first make the team decide whether to apply a transition or franchise tag on him for the third year in a row.

Appearing at a fan forum aired live on the local radio station on which the quarterbac­k makes weekly regular-season appearance­s, Cousins said Friday he believes the Redskins are “all in” on trying to sign him to a long-term contract.

“I see us taking our time. I see us waiting and being patient,” Cousins said.

“Let’s see what they do,” he added later during the nearly two-hour question-and-answer session. “I don’t need to force anybody’s hand.”
