49ers reportedly remain high on Kirk Cousins
CBS' Jason La Canfora reports the 49ers remain "very high" on free agent Kirk Cousins, but that the Redskins are ready to use the franchise tag and engage in "lucrative" long-term talks.
La Canfora reports that the Bears have also done "significant work" on Cousins, but that both teams ultimately consider it unlikely he gets out of Washington's clutches. Teams are right to be interested in Cousins, but they're also right that it's a fantasy.

Yea, because LaCanfora is the authority on all things Redskins.

Regardless of your JLC opinion, that CBS article about QBs next year (around the league not just Washington) was interesting:
Here are the front-runners to land Garoppolo, Romo in NFL's QB shuffle

The full Skins related graf:
The 49ers are very high on the Redskins' Kirk Cousins, sources continue to maintain, but Washington will franchise the impending free agent quarterback and is prepared to engage in talks in a lucrative long-term deal with him. It would take a huge haul of picks to pry Cousins away, and new 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan, who along with his dad drafted Cousins in Washington, has a ravaged roster with needs at every position. Paying that kind of draft pick price could be prohibitive. The Bears also have done significant work on Cousins, but with the Redskins going to franchise him and that process playing out perhaps throughout the offseason, the timing may not work out and this team can't afford to be left without a seat in these musical quarterback chairs.
