Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins QB, will make team pay
It is the best article i've seen so far on the Cousins situation. The Front Office really did bring this on itself, points out the irony of us not wanting to give Cousins a long term deal because it is too expensive, but yet Cousins is already in line for 45 million guaranteed, with the potential for 30 million more if he is franchised again next season. Yeah - Dan Snyder didn't want to pay cousins "Big Money", but he is okay with potentially shelling out 75 million dollars over three years, which i believe would make Cousins one of the highest paid QB's ever.
We've all said it before. Complete ineptitude on this staff from top to bottom, and it starts with the owner. This should be all the proof we need to be able to say firmly that nothing will ever be accomplished here as long as Snyder owns the team. My hope is that I outlive the bastard, so that if I live to be an old man, I will finally see our Skins owned by someone else.
Really torn here guys. Really torn about still supporting this team after something like this. How can you? How can we? No matter what they say or claim, it is still the same old dumpster fire here. Kirk Cousins deserves better. WE DESERVE BETTER |
The potential for 30 mil might be there but he will be let go before they give him a 3rd tag next year. Which is why this year is so critical. Also I agree with the article that the FO has nobody to blame but themselves, but I disagree that it's fair to lump McC in with Bruce and Dan. McC and Gruden are sold on Kirk but they aren't the ones who work on the salary cap side, that would be Dan/Bruce/Schaeffer. Pretty sure Eric S. could make any deal work given how much space we have, so I'm putting this squarely on Dan/Bruce.
