But I think the OP has a valid discussion of our FO and their concluding the saga even though it does have a bit of dead horsemeat around it as well.
I want to give the FO good props for the last 2 years in most all areas not QB related, and I think they get a pass on KC because, like it or not, he at some point decided he was not going to hold serious negotiations. The FO bears a lot of that blame, but once KC set his mind to his path, I think the FO had to make new plans. I think we take Calais Campbell IF the FO knew without a doubt that KC was onboard, but KC's intransigence made the FO hold back on any splash, in case KC negotiations got close and they needed that extra bit to push it over the edge. (That's all speculation though)
This year KC said in his interview that he wouldn't do a thing until after March, and the FO wisely walked away. That was the right move as soon as KC said he would wait.
FO gets a B+ from me for the overall KC drama. My breakdown of the full hindsight case is this:
First quarter: D- Snyder held on to RG3 took tightly this quarter
2nd quarter: C+ they should have made a better pitch for a long term deal, but did anybody REALLY feel KC was a no questions asked guy after his first full year?
Third quarter: D-, the second tag should have been non exclusive, and then KC maybe would have felt he got his chance to see where his value on the market would have been AND we may have gotten better compensation if KC left
4th quarter:A+ closed it off with a bang. Once the FO knew that no deal was there, they didn't play footsies with the scorned lover, they took the bitter pill, and we will have a better team for it.

I look at RGIII and guys like him an Manzel and this these guy put up on too much of a pedestal and it ruins them for the game. Thinking that they are more important or bigger than the team. And I can't help but wonder if the same thing didn't end up happening to Cousins.
I think back to Haynesworth he though too much of himself to adapt to a new scheme ( mind you I hated going for 4 3 to 3 4)
