The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

[Dan73]

I gotta think given the draft and amount of qbs on the market Cousins and his agent probably are praying tag and trade to the Jets as they may be the only team to pay him.

So Cousins is going to file a grievance if he is tagged again. He and his agent claim the point of franchise tag is to workout a long term deal.

It's always good to add a link

Report: Kirk Cousins will file grievance if Redskins attempt to tag him | Yardbarker.com

While the Skins would be stupid to tag him, this report still adds to my perception that teams would look at signing KC as bringing in nothing but headaches. You want a qb that is going to work with your FO, KC hasn't seemed like that at any point in his career.

That said, it only becomes an issue if a team is working with KC's agent and starts to get a feeling he is not being a straight shooter with them. If KC and Denver for example are in contract negotiations, and everything is smooth, then Denver will write off all KC's negotiation faux pas as a Washington thing. BUT if they are negotiating and KC's agent suddenly says that another team wants him more and they need more time or money, I think Denver says he's not worth the headache.

This has turned into that classic Husband/Wife divorce, the whole "I'm gonna fuck u over" type deal. Just let the dude walk man, we have a QB now

Skins would be stupid on many levels if they tag him. He should file a grievance. The point of the tag is to work out a long term deal, the Skins obviously have no intention of that.

They should just come out and say we are not tagging Kirk.

They could argue the tag is there to protect the teams investment in the player. And it gives their trade partner a chance to work out a deal

That would be an admission to violating the franchise tag rules. KC wouldn't need an agent to win that case.

What rule would that be?

They are arguing the spirit of the rule.

And we don’t do so well when dealing with the spirit of rules

I could see many owners siding with the Skins on this.

The NFLPA isn’t going like it, and who knows how long a grievance would drag on. Meanwhile we’re stuck with him counting against the cap. No thanks.

Nope ,you would be wrong.


Question ,why do hate KC so much? The Skins screwed him over by drafting him in the first place after they had already taken RGIII,KC could have been a starter somewhere else already but he did the right thing and waited and was a good team player.Finally he gets the starting nod and does well and creates some stability at a position that the Skins needed desperately and instead of appreciating it they drag out his stay here and show him no appreciation,why would he stay? Pretty much most of your post's are anti KC and I was wondering why?

He got contract offers from the Skins. All he has talked about is getting paid. Even his teammates have said he sent mixed messages.

It is not just Kirk I think the QB market like the old rookie market has gotten crazy.
