Kirk Cousins 365 thread

If the opening offer is $20M, and you know that McCartney's opening position is going to be $25M per year (which is just slightly higher than the tag), then it's very easy to see them coming together around $23M.

This deal gets done, guaranteed.

The guaranteed jack is where it's at anyway, as you are well aware

Absolutely. And that could be something that hangs the whole thing up, who knows.

I believe that Cousins likes Gruden and wants to be in DC. That's the whole underpinning of my belief that it all gets done. I think McCartney has done a terrific job of leaking things at just the right time to get the media all spun up, and the internet rumor machine in overdrive, that Cousins wants out.

I think it's all BS. I wholeheartedly believe he wants to be here with Jay. And I wholeheartedly believe his wife Julie wants to be here. And I think, behind closed doors, he has told McCartney to get the Skins up as high as you can by any means necessary, and if they get in the ballpark then I'll sign.

And you're right, if the 'Skins don't get into the ballpark in terms of fair guaranteed money, then it could all fall apart. But I don't think that will happen, I think they know this negotiation is high stakes and for real now, and they won't screw it up.

July 15 is a ways away, and there's no reason for either side to cave yet. I think the combine ends having made some progress, but still a gap. But they get there by July.
