Redskins don't plan on third straight franchise tag for Kirk Cousins

If the Vikings and Jets go a different way, not saying they will, then KCs FA trial would get a little harder.


Why would they both turn in a different direction? He’s clearly at the top of their wish lists.

I don't think it's likely but if both decide the price gets too high they both have alternate plans. The Vikings at least have to consider Keenum at 10M less, and the Jets could fall in love with a top qb at a rookie salary, even cap isn't a huge issue.

$30M gets it done if that’s what the Vikings are offering. The Jets can pay him and still have more room than most teams to upgrade and not to mention a high pick. Money isn’t an issue for either of these teams.

Money isn’t an issue for either of these teams.No i get that. I just wonder if the agent tries to play to hard and both teams go for other options. I think it's definitely between the Jets and Vikings, and ultimately I think the Vikings sign him. BUT, if they could make the decision that Keenum got them to the NFL championship at 2/3rd the cost.

The typical window to win a SB is 3-4 years, the Vikings are built to win right now. They’re in a spot where they should be pushing all of their chips to the middle of the table, not trying to save $10M. If the offer is 3 years $90M fully guaranteed I can’t see how Kirk passes that up.

........and it's close to his family.

That's a real good point actually.

For those who want to see a very thorough breakdown of KC, from a Vikings fan perspective, this is really good.

I really was curious what Jets/Broncos/Vikings fans are saying.

I take PFF with a grain of salt, they basically are calling Cousins average, they are a joke. They had Colin Kaepernick ranked real high, that was enough for me not to pay attention to anything they have to say.

Well that guy broke down a lot more than just PFF stats. Including watching a ton of Cousins. That said, with KC leaving, it was just what I thought was a balanced look at the pros and cons of KC.

PFF isn't a joke, they have a different system but those guys watch film 24/7.
