The Facts: Asked by a reader for an update on Cousins' contract situation, ESPN.com's John Keim replied: "There really is none. During the scouting combine, word surfaced that the Redskins had offered him $20 million per year; I'd been told it was for five years. I've also been told that the $20 million might not be 100 percent accurate so I'll just use the word approximately."

Diehards Line: Meanwhile, at last week's owners meetings, team president Bruce Allen told SI.com's Albert Breer that it was a five-year extension on top of the 2017 franchise tag. That was the first Keim heard it was an extension and would not replace the tag money. But Keim also was told the guarantees were "low." And he was told that there has been no new offer since before the combine (the sides did meet in Indianapolis). So don't expect much to happen on the long-term deal front well in advance of the July 15 deadline to get one done. Short of that, Cousins will play for Washington on the franchise tag in 2017.
