10000% agree! I don't care if you sign him to a $26M/yr deal and a billion dollars guaranteed. Just pay the man and get this thing going.

Honestly, to me, there isn't much wrong with that.

Not many of us would do the same job for less pay when we could go across town & make more.

I think he calmed the waters with his clarification...should make us all fell better.

Maybe, just maybe the "dysfunction" has been a little over blown after all??

Some of the "rush to judgement" this world is heading towards needs to chill.

Welp Espn and Mort sold us a lie...??? Think Werder and others went along with it?

the language was "appealed for a trade" on the original report...that is a trade request.



My personal opinion is he should be signed to a long term deal. Most reports out of DC have Bruce and Dan as the folks who stand against paying him. Plus there is the whole history thing with Bruce/Dan and QBs.

Im not really feeling any better when I look at all parties involved.

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

Kirk Cousins of Washington Redskins says he reached out to owner Dan Snyder to understand team's direction

And this is why we can't put any stock in reports all the time. I love KC, I hope the franchise does this dude right

I agree Schneed. I trust the guy when it comes straight from him and not some report. In my view it was smart for Kirk to get his voice out there and calm down all this click bait reporting being done.

Listen to Kirk's 30 min podcast interview. Then draw your own conclusions.

I've felt like that a while now. We are just an easy target and with our market size anything Washington gets views and clicks. Look what we did in FA. If we get Kirk signed long term, add a solid draft and a couple more pieces to the D in FA then this team will compete for the East again next year and contend for the NFC.

I watched Kellerman earlier totally discounting our franchise (hes a NYG fan), basically saying he was worried about Philly and Dallas in the East but we were two guaranteed wins. What a dumbass,

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

So WTF....are we going to sign him if we offer a contract he likes or is the relationship damage done?

Can't watch the podcast at work but I'll assume it makes Kirk look good in his argument. I've been on his side for a while now, he has proven himself and deserves to be paid market rate. The Redskins really need to get their heads out of their asses and just pay him. I ain't saying overpay him and screw our cap situation but I know we have the room to pay him and still improve the team.

I definitely think he will sign if we make a real and respectful offer.
