He has no say about the franchise tag but it is worth noting. Elway has a huuuuuge ego and I do believe he can sell being a Bronco and living in Denver. Washington hasn't done anything, even with Cousins at the helm (a negative on him, IMO), so I don't know they will pay him ridonculous money next year, just because.
Just a thought though. All good if they do. We can move on. If they don't, I would be very interested in seeing how Elway plays the game. Cousins isn't worth breaking the bank and future of the team, since we need money to make a better team around whomever we get at QB.
