The deadline passed Monday for Kirk Cousins to sign a long-term deal, meaning the Washington quarterback will play a second consecutive season on the franchise tag.

The team confirmed no agreement by the 4 p.m. Monday deadline. Cousins will make $23.94 million on the franchise tag in 2017 after $19.95 million last year.

Cousins is the first quarterback in NFL history to play two years in a row on the franchise tag. Team president Bruce Allen said in a prepared statement that the team’s goal was to sign Cousins to a long-term contract and offered him $53 million guaranteed or $72 million for injury.

• The Pittsburgh Steelers and star running back Le’Veon Bell failed to reach an agreement on a long-term contract, meaning Bell will play on a one-year tender this season.

Bell will make $12.1 million this season, the average of the five highest-paid running backs in the league. He could become an unrestricted free agent next spring, or the Steelers could place the franchise tag on him a second time.

• Just over a week before training camp opens, the Carolina Panthers fired Dave Gettleman as general manager.

The Panthers already were without a team president after Danny Morrison resigned in February.

Gettleman was Carolina’s general manager for four seasons, when the Panthers went 43-26-1. But Carolina was 6-10 last season a year after reaching Super Bowl 50, where it lost to Denver. The Panthers won the NFC South his first three years at the helm.
