Well, I only compare the two dollar amounts per each of those theoretical deals: 34 million guaranteed for one year versus 90 million guaranteed.
I know which one I'm choosing.
I don't know why Cousins wouldn't want to negotiate with a team he wants to be with (assuming its Denver or whoever) for a guaranteed dollar amount that he also wants.
You mean he declines to go where he wants for what he wants just to go cray-cray with Bruce and Dan?
IDK.
I likewise don't know why he'd want to sabotage his own career by staying with the Redskins just so that he doesn't play for a year. That can only negatively affect his earnings in future years and jeopardize whether any team would actually give him a long term deal if/when he ever made it to the open market.
But ultimately none of that matters the second he signs the tag. Once he does that Bruce can sell him to ... I was going to Ottawa, I used Siberia previously. But I figured Bruce already explored the whole CFL angle, lol. (Joking).
So that's just it, at least for me, Bruce forces Cousins to the table with the tag, albeit begrudgingly: "tell me where you want to go, or I'll just throw a dart at a board."
