Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag

KC stands to take in $77M over 3 years of the tag, fully guaranteed. I'm still failing to see how he's playing this wrong or why he should take a penny less.

Yes it absolutely will. There are tons of articles pointing to the likelihood of guaranteed money going through the roof if he hits the open market.

Do you understand supply and demand? There are about 15 QBs in the NFL who you could see contending for a Super Bowl title. There are 32 teams in the NFL.

Yeah, but I also see what happened to teams that blew their load on an uncertainty. KC still has a lot to prove and teams are going to want an out after about 2 years. We'll see. I think it also depends on whether Brees and Stafford get contracts prior to his.

Because most teams that aren't fucking retarded wouldn't have tagged him 3 years in a row(if we do next season) and would have done a LTD two years ago.

Very true and I wholeheartedly agree. But we did tag him twice, and now he does have that leverage.

That toothpaste isn't going back inside that tube.

I don't think he played it wrong. Just that if he wanted to be here, he would have taken in the same 77M + more if injured. Both sides had their line they wouldn't cross, and both sides came away aware that neither side gave in enough to get a deal done. Kirk is putting his future on his back, and if he wins the Skins do to, at least for this year.

Like someone else said, I'm over this drama, let's see what KC, Pryor, Doctson, Crowder and Reed do on the field. I'm pretty excited about our team's personnel.

We can revisit KC's future next offseason.

Go Skins

this.

Question to the faithful...after he signs it, can a long term deal still be struck? Brain is turning to piss, but I think we still can.

no more deals can be done till next offseason, but next year if we FT him again, we would have till July 15th. and he still wouldn't sign because KC wants to see what his market value is. (I think he will be disappointed like most FA's that think to high of themselves).

Well, let KC prove his worth this year. I'm rooting for him to succeed (of course) regardless as to what happens next year. Let him prove it. But know that us Redskins fans have very high expectations this year.

deadline is past, seems like this thread could go away. (PLEAAASSSSEEEEE)

Hope the paid assassin plays well. There is a lot of pressure for him to do well. Of course that's always the case in DC.

Fuck it, I'm done. We have him this year that's all that really matters in the NFL. Every NFL cycle is only 1 year. I'm glad they can't negotiate until after the season ends.

Bruce Allen and Cousins could simultaneously kick my dog and I'd still be singing HTTR at kickoff.

Just win baby!
