As I mentioned before, if Cousins' camp doesn't value the security of a long term deal (which most players do), it is a lost bargaining chip for the Redskins.

While I do not believe the team is blameless, I do feel that this is either about Cousins not wanting to play here and/or being in for the money. If you have a player that doesn't value the security of a long term deal and doesn't want to play here and/or wants unrealistic money, how do you come to a compromise and a deal under those situations?
You just let him go and draft a qb. The guy choked when the season was on the line. All he had to do is win one of 3 games to get into the playoffs, with 2 of those teams being subpar and the other not having to win. You can't justify putting yourself in a position to having to let multiple good players go for a guy that hasn't really shown anything to warrant $25 million a year. The issue is moot as it seems that one or both parties don't want to have anything to do with the other after 2017.
