I want to say in all due respect to everyone : I told you all very early in the offseason, that Cousins would not be re-signed, and they would tag him again. I said that there was something going on behind the scenes, perhaps it had to do with Bruce Allen. I pondered the question regarding Cousins' statement in February that as long as Allen was here, he would not sign a LTD. So in all due respect, I told you so. Everyone here almost flamed me and said I was crazy, we had all kinds of "experts" here that insisted i was nuts, that there was no way they tagged Cousins again.

So now i say this with a cool head: Cousins long term future is obviously now extremely in doubt here. I think IF IT IS TRUE, that Cousins doesn't want to be here, you trade him now and begin preparing for your future. It may be a bad one if we shit the bed this year and Gruden & Company are canned, maybe even Bruce Allen gets canned too. Trade Cousins somewhere that he would agree on, and get the maximum value for him. Because we cannot just have him leave after one more year here (2018) and get nothing from him at all. McCoy is not the future, but he could hold it down for a year or two while we figure out at this point plan C. To let our home grown, 4th round pick that we developed Cousins leave after franchise tag 3 and get nothing from him would perhaps, and should be, the ultimate embarrassment and sign of ineptitude from Snyder / Allen. I do not think Kirk stays beyond 2018.

Congratulations! I'm ecstatic that your doom and gloom prediction has come true! With all due respect, I'm not an expert, just an asshole with a keyboard. I appreciate your very modest gloating after the fact. Just curious, what feels better, being right about a shitty situation or the alternative?
