kuiper999 The deadline for the 32 NFL teams to franchise tag a player passed on Tuesday, March 6, and the star player who hit the free agent market was Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins.

The Redskins opted not to tag the 29-year-old quarterback because of his $34.5 million salary, and have already acquired Alex Smith from the Kansas City Chiefs.  kuiper999

That made him tweet via his account @KirkCousins8 , teasing that he is ready to negotiate with any team. “Officially, next week will be the first time since 2007 that I have the opportunity to choose to play football with the team I want to play with. I am ready to listen to all offers. #freeagency”

The two teams that have shown interest in selling dumplings are the Minnesota Vikings and the New York Jets. The former has the best tax rate in terms of team composition, but the latter has a lot of money ready to slap in the face. 

As the Arizona Cardinals and Denver Broncos look to scoop up Vikings free agent Case Keenum if he is traded to make way for Cousins.

The top free agents on the market on March 14, in addition to the two quarterbacks mentioned above, are wide receiver Sammy Watkins (Rams), wide receiver Allen Robinson (Jaguars), running back Dion Lewis (Patriots) and running back Carlos Hyde (49ers).   ( kuiper999 )
