I think there's more to this than the skins not paying him - but they sure as hell should put a fair market value contract on the table and make KC the bad guy if he won't sign.

So what is fair market value ? it probably is about the same as the franchise tag now

The NFL Network was saying the same thing.

Report: Kirk Cousins personally asked Redskins owner Dan Snyder to trade him


We all know by now that the relationship between quarterback Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins isn’t good. That “How you like me now?” moment last season was telling.

Now we have the most definitive news about where everything stands. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen reported that Cousins personally asked Washington team owner Dan Snyder for a trade. Cousins was “basically told not to get his hopes up,” Mortensen reported.

We have a standoff.

or the Redskins are not acting desperate to trade KC, and hope that they get a good offer

Exactly. They must establish the moral high ground or they will appear like completely incompetent morons.

Why can't Jay just sit down with the guy and tell him he's the man. He says it in the media, we as fans want him here. Just sign the deal and be happy being part of this city and team who turned you into the pro you are today.

Cousins expects to play 2017 in Washington

Why doesn't Dan bring him and his agent to his house like other "franchise changing" free agents?

Kirk might be the first free agent who actually could change the franchise!!!

Treat him like a 5 star recruit at a shady SEC school.

So a lame duck QB behind center next year ..no thanks to that..EITHER sign him long term or move on..I would rather go 6-10 with colt and a plan than 9-7 with Cousins and no plan..either way we miss playoffs and 6-10 gets a better pick in a QB heavy 2018 draft..I am sick of this. And Does it bother you guys that Cousins seems like he feels he has been done wrong..20 million dollars last year and 24 million this year..Why is he complaining?? 44 million for 32 games and he has got sour grapes..I don't get it..they have paid the man!! his little bitty EGO has been hurt..somebody pat him on the head and tell him how great he is...GROW UP COUSINS and quit whining..you have got paid! You blew it in our last game and cost us playoffs and for that you get 44 million..Im not sure i want him on the team anymore..go on to San Fran and lose your ass for the next 4 years..Kyle is going to fall on his face as a head coach..just like Norv Turner ..the only thing i am hoping for is we get compensation for him ..at least a number 1 and send him packing..The redskins with colt will win twice as many games as 69ers with Kirk..

That was was my first thought too, however all of next year every time he's on the field he's effectively auditioning for his next gig. Just on a pure selfish level he has a lot of motivation to play well. I think he really wants to show the world that he's the real deal. So I'll take him for one more year even if it's not permanent.
