Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
 

[quote=SolidSnake84;1165253]Someone i believe already posted the link earlier, but in case not, here we go. Looks like we are trying as hard as we can to mess up the Cousins situation.

Here is an article that says we may not even begin negotiations at the Franchise tag price. No way Kirk accepts that after making a higher salary last season:

[url=http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/washington-redskins/dont-expect-redskins-offer-top-qb-market-price-kirk-cousins-analyst-says]Don't expect Redskins to offer top QB market price to Kirk Cousins, analyst says | CSN Mid-Atlantic[/url]

This one basically says there is now rumored "resistance" (AKA DAN SNYDER) on giving Cousins the tag, [B]and suggests the skins might just be content letting Kirk test Free Agency. (Translation: He's gone)[/B]

[url=http://sportsnaut.com/2017/02/report-internal-resistance-in-washington-to-giving-kirk-cousins-franchise-tag/]Report: 'Internal resistance' in Washington to giving Kirk Cousins franchise tag - Sportsnaut.com[/url][/quote]

That article says nothing of the sort. In fact it says:

[quote]The issue here is that letting Cousins test free agency doesn’t seem like an optimal idea. With what will likely be north of $100 million to spend in free agency, the San Francisco 49ers could make it hard for Washington to retain cousins. [/quote]

You're putting your own spin on this. And what the hell is sportsnaut anyway?

As for the Andrew Brandt interview I heard him discussing the same thing live on Tues morning with Ross Tucker. He basically said the team could offer him in the range of $21m or $22m per year, and he expects Kirk would probably take it. The team has all the leverage right now. Why take $24m for one year when you can have probably at least 2-3 times that in guaranteed money with a long term deal?

[quote=SkinsGuru;1165255]dude . . . you guys are the one saying he had a bad game because of contract pressure . . . not me . . . all i said was he had a bad game period . . . and that IF you guys are correct, then he is not a good fit at QB[/quote]

I didn't say he had a bad game because of contract pressure, I mentioned that was a theory. Big difference. Do I know if it is true or not? I have no idea. And I'm definitely not in the "he can't win big games camp" because that's a lot of nonsense. I'm firmly in the "pay the guy so we can fix the real holes" camp.

You've never heard of sportsnaut, that new sports juggernaut? It's all the rage baby.

Kirk and the family watching the legend!

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
 

I think there is positive mojo between the skins and kc. I bet we hear a done deal announcement by next Thursday so the skins can prep for free agency.

Yea but a lot of nimrods will run with it.....

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
 

listened to our Local Skins reporter from the paper and he firmly believes Scott and Bruce are at too much at odds for a long term deal to get done and the most likely outcome will be a deal with San Fran. That it makes zero sense for the Skins just to let Cousins play for a year then walk.

So here is thought say you make a deal with SF then sign Romo for the short term and then find your next QB. I prefer to keep KC but that Romom plan isn't the craziest idea ever.

My preference is too sign Cousin long term...but if not, my ideal situation would be trade Cousins to SF for their 1st and 2nd round picks. Call New England and then move #17 for Jimmy G.

Because you take that 24 mil guaranteed, play out the year, and after you hit the open market in '18, sign with another team for even more than you'd make with a long term deal this year. I don't see how the team has an ounce of leverage. It all hinges on Kirk, does he want to be here?

Btw I think he does, and I think they'll get a long term deal done

Re: Kirk Cousins 365 thread
 

Get him locked up if at all possible. If you absolutely can't, tag him and see if anyone will bite on a trade. Tagging without trading means he'll walk in '18 and we'll only get what, maybe a 3rd round pick as compensation?
