Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag

[Chief X_Phackter]

I'm no expert with all this. Can anyone explain if Kirk can turn down a trade, if say Cleveland came calling? I get that he holds leverage as far as he can just play under the FT and basically walk next year, but if a trade is proposed, and it's not SF, can he block that trade?

I'm pretty sure he can't block the trade, but no team would trade for him unless they knew he'd be willing to make a long term deal.

I'm sick of Cousins, I know we have major dysfunction in the FO, but this is the team (and the coach) who made it possible for him to become a top QB. The team paid him $20 million dollars last season and are willing to pay him $24 million this season and he's being all diva-like/bitchy about this?

Just shut up and play.

Yeah, I don't know what all is going on inside that organization, and without that knowledge, it's hard to argue with what you are saying there.
