[quote=Alvin Walton;1164032]And again today Cousins has said his return is not in his hands.
What does that mean?
He is rock solid on what he wants as a contract and the Redskins front office must adjust?[/quote]

I took it to mean that it is not his personal decision on if the redskins offer him a contract. I think he is talking about all of the rumors in general just saying "not up to me", if he stays or goes.

It's a load of shit. It's just as much up to him as SM. If he called SM and said he'll sign for 5 years 100 million he'd be signed tonight. What he really means it's not up to me if they'll give me every penny I want. (of course for the poor future qbs of the NFL)

Make no mistake, Cousins is going to get every penny he is asking for, the only relevant question is from which team.

I really think this has been handled poorly by the team. The leak from the F.O. earlier this year that he was a stat accumulator accomplished what?

From the moment they realized RGIII sucked, they should have been massaging him like a college recruit at Florida State. Telling them how much they believed in him and selling him on the team.

Completely irrelevant is whether or not they believed it at the time or now. They should have been selling him on the team because he is the only viable option right now.

Draft QBs, and constantly be scouting F.A. QBs, but massage him, sell him on the team, mow his freakin yard. Don't bash him in the media!

Always be Closing.

Coffee is for closers.

They have not even offered him a contract yet. How can he turn down a contract that has not been offered?

He can't accept an offer he hasn't received and he will not take a low ball offer. If the Redskins do not offer him a fair contract, he will take the Franchise TAG.

A. We don't know if they've offered his agent anything, and B. His agent can submit terms agreeable to Cousins (and maybe he already has).

It's his right to ask for as much as he wants I'm just tired of hearing about how he has 0% power over whether he returns or not. It's a 2 way street in scenarios like this.

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
 

Franchise tag rules mean the team and Cousins cannot negotiate until after the Super Bowl.

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
 

I think people are reading a little too much into what Kirk Cousins is saying - or not saying. I think he's trying his best to just not say much and basically trying to say whatever happens, happens. His agent probably told him not to really elaborate, simply because he doesn't want to lose any leverage he might have in the negotiation. That's pretty standard. Let the team say they want him or not - which sounds like that was conveyed this week with Bruce and Jay. Let's just wait and see what happens. I think it's highly unlikely that Cousins is not playing as a Redskin next year.

I'm ready for the SB to be over, just so this "drama" can be resolved.

Me too. I'm gonna put this topic on "hold" in my own mind until after the SB.

if you mean "drama" as in this thread, Im with you 110%

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
 

The thing that bothers me I guess is that he doesn't seem to care if he's on the Redskins or not. He just wants to be where he's wanted aka whoever pays him the most. All he says is its not up to me, seems like a I don't care if I'm here type answer. I haven't heard him say something like "I want to be a Redskin but it's also a business...".

Ahh, you guys are right though, I sound like like a chick lol. I'm done talking about it until he's signed, franchised, traded, etc. Whenever that happens I'll see what I think of whatever decision was made.

I feel the same. I know KC feels he has done enough to get paid, and he has, HOWEVER, the team has done a lot to make him successful as well. It is absolutely a 2 way street. It is not all up to the skins. Alot of folks will disagree with me on this but I am starting to place KC in the me first douche bucket. He is giving me the vibe that $$ is more important than championships to KC and it pisses me off. The link below is why I posted earlier that he is not worth breaking the team for. He is not aaron rodgers. Brady or either Manning. To win SBs KC needs a better team around him than those guys listed above.
