The San Francisco 49ers remain "very high" on Washington Redskins impending free agent quarterback Kirk Cousins, reports CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora.
La Canfora added that Washington is ready to use the franchise tag and engage in "lucrative" long-term discussions. The Chicago Bears have reportedly also done "significant work" on Cousins, but everything points to him ultimately returning to Washington.
Cousins earned the sixth-most Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back among the 39 quarterbacks to drop back at least 100 times in 2016. Meanwhile, San Francisco's offense finished fifth-worst in Adjusted Passing NEP per play.
