The NFL careers of Robert Griffin III and Kirk Cousins must be undeniably, mechanically linked somehow. The pair entered the NFL together five years ago on the same club, the Washington Redskins. First, Cousins — Washington’s starting quarterback for the past two seasons — grudgingly signed his second consecutive franchise tag that will pay him a guaranteed $23.9 million in 2017. Cousins, beyond frustrated the Redskins won’t sign him long-term, reportedly has requested to be traded. Cousins can be traded now that he has signed franchise tag No.
