If reports are accurate, Dan / Allen didn't express any willingness to keep Cousins until year 3 of him starting. Remember after the Baltimore game that Cousins won with RG3 being hurt, Dan allegedly walked right by Cousins in the locker room, said nothing to him, and went over to RG3. How would that make you feel?
I think there's next to no chance we successfully draft / develop a QB. The argument could be made that we did that with Cousins, and ultimately failed when it came time to give him NFL starting QB money. Trading up for Picks to get a QB - those picks would be better used elsewhere on our team.

Ah, KC was playing the long con, where he miraculously rises to the rank of a Pro Bowl caliber qb to burn the owner in the end. Nice.
I really think the low ball offers in consecutive years has more to do with this. First offseason they said they wanted him to prove himself some more, he did, and they still lowballed him. Now he probably can't wait to get out.
