Re: Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag
I want to make it clear that I don't think this is a big cluster **** because the Skins haven't yet signed Kirk to a LTD. It is a CF because of the inability of someone in the organization to make a yes or no decision on Kirk. And this is after they have worked with him everyday for over five years? That's ridiculous! Meanwhile, they have stupidly guaranteed him $43,000,000 for only two years work. I just don't get this at all. It is bad business, IMO.
Now, I'm guessing, they are trying to recoup some if this money by low-balling Kirk in the negotiations for a LTD. That isn't going to work. It doesn't belong on the table because there is nothing to discuss. Kirk already has that money. It's gone. They might as well forget about it. The only possible topic for discussion is a contract extension at or near the current market rate with a substantial guarantee.
Supposedly, the ultimate team goal is to win a Super Bowl. If they believe they can win a SB with Kirk at QB, then they should stop screwing around and pay him the market rate on a LTD. If they don't, they should try to trade him now. If they still can't decide, then they are bunch of clowns who shouldn't be running a lemonade stand on the front sidewalk.
It is the epitome of stupidity to either continue to pay a fortune to a QB you don't believe in or to refuse to pay the going rate to lock up a QB who you believe can take you all the way once the team is built around him.
