With SS putting the odds on signing Kirk at 45%, I'm about ready to step out on the ledge with Snake. The only way those odds could be under 50% when Scot, Bruce, and Jay support Kirk is if Dan Snyder is not on board.

Was it Mike Shanahan who said that the only position Dan Snyder cares about is QB? It's our bad luck that Snyder doesn't know jack about evaluating QB's but still thinks he should decide who our QB will be, or not be.

Where is everyone getting their information whether DS likes or doesn't like Kirk? Do you have a link or quote from DS himself?

[Chico23231]

My personal opinion is...on what planet does someone need convincing? Have you looked around the league lately?

I really hope Snyder will leave this one alone.

[CRedskinsRule]

I think it's possible Snyder remembers Archuletta, Haynesworth, and sees Osweiller and Fitzgerald and cringes at paying KC.

IF (and I have no facts saying it is) that is the case, he needs to let it go and pay da man

This. SS is a credible source. If he is saying 45%, then get ready for 5-11 next year with Colt. Moreover, I do remember the quote about Dan only wanting input on the QB position. Maybe that's why Kirk has been all over social media, sport talk 980, and now fox and friend to help market himself for Dan to buy in.. If only Jack Kent Cook would have left the organization to John!!

Well he did say 45% chance of a long term deal getting done.

My bad for getting the long-term deal part wrong. Still, how stupid would it be to Franchise Tag Cousins again? We've gone over the Franchise Tag pros and cons, so I won't get into that but I think the decision this season will be binary, i.e. "Do we sign him to a long term deal or trade him?". There are no other reasonable options, IMHO.

I don't see the point in tagging him again either, it will only escalate his price or he walks away for nothing once we can't use the tag anymore. But you can't say it's off the table as an option.

Bruce Allen says Redskins decision makers support Kirk Cousins | CSN Mid-Atlantic

Per Rich Tandler:

Is this Cousins deal really going to happen? You always have to be wary of anything coming out of Redskins Park. But by my count Bruce Allen has expressed confidence that the team will get a long-term deal done with Cousins three times now. Once on SiriusXM NFL Radio, once at the Senior Bowl with JP Finlay and now here on ESPN 980. This seems to have a different vibe than last year, when everyone seemed to be resigned to Cousins playing on the tag. I checked my saved notes and I've racked my memory, I don't recall one instance of the team president coming out and saying that he was sure that there will be a long-term deal. That's a significant difference.

That doesn't mean that a deal is inevitable. From the sound of things negotiations are in the early stages if they've started at all. It's not at all clear if Allen intends to get a deal done by the March 1 franchise tag deadline or by the July 15 deadline for a tagged player to reach a deal. There is a long way to go. But the vibe seems to be there and that's something that never seemed to be present a year ago.

It's all part of the dance.

I said it wasn't a reasonable option which, of course, doesn't preclude Redskins management from doing something stupid. I don't think Redskins management is stupid and so I concluded that the only two options that make sense are a long-term contract or a trade.

[SFREDSKIN]

With all the cap space money, one alternative is to give him a nice chunk of guaranteed $$$ and break the rest of the $$$ into future years. I don't like it, but it could be an alternative, I'm sure they will figure it out.

[sdskinsfan2001]

Man, I'm so glad I backed out of making an opinion till there is an actual announcement on this thread. Mock drafting is way more relaxing.

[diehardskin2982]

If Cousins intends to be paid like the #1 QB in the league, he will be non-exclusively tagged. They are willing to pay him but it won't be outrageous. So it's up to both sides to meet in the middle.

[Meks]

Hows cousins in madden? He should be paid what he's worth give im a 7 year max out contract so we don't lose.cap space 😂😂
