I'd try to find a trade partner. Let someone else pay the 24 million this year.

That ship has sailed for this year.

ok...thanx

I'd have to assume some of that additional guaranteed money would be in some form of up front bonus next year.

Not all guaranteed money is a bonus, but all bonus money is guaranteed.

Yeah probably. But I'd still try to up to training camp starting.

Allen notes that the team made an offer on May 2. They offered $53M in guaranteed money, which is $1M more than this year's franchise tag number + next year's transition tag number. And he'd be under Redskin control for five years.

Not worth it for Cousins. He's better off staying on the one-year plan.

Allen continues to fail to recognize the leverage his wait and see strategy has handed to Cousins. Allen seems to think he's still negotiating from a typical negotiating position. It's not a typical position; the current position has the team bent over, grabbing their ankles with white knuckles. And they put themselves in that position.

Next season, the price is only going to go higher. And Allen will hem and haw about making him the highest paid player in the NFL. It's not about that Bruce, you dipshit. It's about Kirk's opportunity cost. He has the opportunity to hit the free agent market in his prime, something you permitted to happen. It has you over a barrel, ass in the air. Recognize it and pay the freight, or you'll lose him.

Fire this idiot.

He's making it sound like they offered a great deal and then Cousins' agent never responded back. I'm sure that didn't happen. Honestly, if I'm Dan Snyder I seriously think about ditchin' the stooge.

Well, we just have to hope Bruce wrote up the contract, then forgot to press send, and its still saved in his draft emails.....

At the end of the day, I'm convinced that Cousins doesn't want to be here, hence why he's probably asking some outlandish number.

When Carr got his deal, many people thought Cousins should get a similar deal, and it sounds that's what he was offered.

His deal would have actually been higher than Carr (40 gtd), Luck (44 gtd), Rodgers (33 gtd), Newton (41 gtd), and Wilson (31 gtd); when looking at deals in the past two years.

I have a reason to pull for skins this year..to watch Cousins sh*t the bed..Mr big time "show me da money" You have no intention of signing a deal with Skins .you want out of here..why don't you just say it. Could the Skins have handled this better? 100% yes but if you go back and look the timing was all on Cousins side. There will be a lot of fans who don't give a crap if you leave..you have talent for sure but you are not as great as you think..my bet is we miss playoffs this year..we at best go 8-8 and truth is Cousins does not strike fear in NFL defense ..Top 10 QB? NO WAY you are at best slightly above mid pack . lets see how you do without Djax now He scared the Defense! is Cousins better than colt?? Heck yea But we can win 6 or 7 games with Colt ..Cousins is at best a system QB who needs great talent around him to win..He will never be able to carry a team the way Brady,Rogers,Brees,Big Ben,Ryan,Manning,Wilson,Newton can. We were not even competitive against the Panthers and several other teams at the end. Talk about a moment to step up and show the redskins what you are ..HOW ABOUT the Giants game with playoffs on the line and you choke..dont tell me How you like me now in some game you guys were getting blown out and had a ton of breaks to eke out a win.Lead your team to a few wins late in the year and make the playoffs!! You do that and you would have your LONG TERM deal. I am moving on as a fan and could care less what Cousins does.

Amen. We're only in this position because Allen put us in this position. All this "we can talk after the season" shit is total fucking BS, why would Kirk even entertain an offer when he knows he can ride out the 1 year deal, hit free agency, and have SF/Kyle S. pay him market rate on a long term deal. It's a total win-win for him. Fuck Bruce Allen.

I'm gonna enjoy this year knowing it might be the last year we have a competent qb under center for a while. Looking forward to being at square fucking one at qb next offseason.

It doesn't make sense to compare Cousins to recent deals signed by Carr, Luck, Newton, Wilson, whoever.

The leverage drives it. Either it's really about money, or he wants out.

We're in this position because Cousins doesn't want to be here period. The team's mistake was to not trade him when they could have. But oh well, here's to one good year (hopefully).
