Can you remember who wanted Donovan McNabb...I believe that was a Bruce/Danny move ? That wasn't the Shannies was it?

Tannehill was a guy they were considering.

Bruce went to Dan and said I think we can get McNabb and Dan said absolutely. Kyle especially was not interested

I just worry if we saw something here happening again with a Romo, Carson Palmer, type acquisitions. history repeating itself with the same bad decision makers.

The track record of Dan and Bruce making QB decisions are not sound...they need to defer to McC...let him control the roster.

Kirk won't be in DC, he wants out. It's pretty obvious, like I said KD did the same thing, he was all quiet and never committed to staying... Then BOOM he left. I hope Kirk stays but I'm already preparing for the news of a trade

At this point, I just want it over with. I don't care which direction the team wants to take, let's just get on with it and see what Jay Gruden does next year. I can't even begin to comprehend the management of this team. I think Scot McCloughan, passed out drunk could manage this team better than a stone cold sober Bruce Allen and Dan Snyder.

This is the life of a Redskins fan as long as DS owns the team, he's the worst owner in the NFL. Losing record and every yr he has DRAMA all over the off season.. Last yr it must have killed him to be so quiet and normal... Now this all comes out. It's just a joke, Cooley knows more than we all think and he's speaking out for a reason.

I hope someone has not already posted this article already, but if not, here it is:

Kirk Cousins, Washington Redskins QB, will make team pay

It is the best article i've seen so far on the Cousins situation. The Front Office really did bring this on itself, points out the irony of us not wanting to give Cousins a long term deal because it is too expensive, but yet Cousins is already in line for 45 million guaranteed, with the potential for 30 million more if he is franchised again next season. Yeah - Dan Snyder didn't want to pay cousins "Big Money", but he is okay with potentially shelling out 75 million dollars over three years, which i believe would make Cousins one of the highest paid QB's ever.

We've all said it before. Complete ineptitude on this staff from top to bottom, and it starts with the owner. This should be all the proof we need to be able to say firmly that nothing will ever be accomplished here as long as Snyder owns the team. My hope is that I outlive the bastard, so that if I live to be an old man, I will finally see our Skins owned by someone else.

Really torn here guys. Really torn about still supporting this team after something like this. How can you? How can we? No matter what they say or claim, it is still the same old dumpster fire here. Kirk Cousins deserves better. WE DESERVE BETTER

If KC isn't signed, is it safe to say that Gruden is in his last year?

The potential for 30 mil might be there but he will be let go before they give him a 3rd tag next year. Which is why this year is so critical. Also I agree with the article that the FO has nobody to blame but themselves, but I disagree that it's fair to lump McC in with Bruce and Dan. McC and Gruden are sold on Kirk but they aren't the ones who work on the salary cap side, that would be Dan/Bruce/Schaeffer. Pretty sure Eric S. could make any deal work given how much space we have, so I'm putting this squarely on Dan/Bruce.

I'm confused on all of this...I don't care who's fault it is at this point. I think both sides screwed themselves.

The Front Office for being too prudent (imagine that!) and Kirk & his agent for being too greedy & just sounding dumb as shit in his sounds bites. ("taking less money wouldn't be fair to QB's that come after me"- get real!).

I am ready to roll the dice and build a better running game & go with McCoy for $20 million less per year. We can use that $20m to help fix the defense & better the run game.

Besides, Kirk is something like 19-21 as a starter...let him go get rich somewhere else and help all those QB's that come after him.

I think he's pretty safe actually

So if not cousins....anybody they got their eye on?

Draft, free agent or say...a backup to the best qb in the league...? Jimmy g trade...that's my hope if not cousins

Hopefully someone will talk sense into him before its too late. Pay the man"

This is exactly what I have been trying to explain to my father!

And I completely agree with you...Synder needs to Get Over Himself and pay the man for his talents and services.
