The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

[mooby]

We get it, Kirk Cousins will be the first solidly-decent quarterback in the history of NFL quarterbacks to not have a huge contract offer in free agency because teams are realizing you can't overpay for quarterbacks, especially not one with 2-1 td-turnover ratios and offensive yardage records for his team of the last 3 years.

God damnit when does FA start, tired of this discussion.

He’ll be lucky to get a vet minimum offer... he may even have to go to the XFL to prove himself

That's surprising, the Browns are a good qb away from being a real contender.

He was doing a interview on a podcast and said is the Browns will not give him top 5 qb money.

Cousins is good, not great. Someone will overpay because demand outstrips supply of QBs. I’m glad it won’t be us overpaying. Smith at 23M, even minus Fuller, is preferable.

Exactly! In 20-20 hindsight the Redskins should have given Cousins 20 mil a year two years ago. Since they didn't and we live in the present Alex at $23.5 mil is better than Kirk at $30 mil.

Right, it's gotta be that, and not because the Browns are several years away from contending and it makes much better sense to bring in a rookie qb with the plural first rounders they have and save money while they develop him.

Good thing Joe Thomas the GM has spoken lol

The only way he would even consider going there is if they offered him insane money

Kirk is going to the Jets, Vikings are keeping Case most likely and they should hes a decent QB. So really its Jets, Browns or Den.

Apparently they were not interested in trading for him last year either.

He said he hasn't heard it direct from the front office. Just a sense he is getting. I think they draft Mayfield.

Joe Thomas needs to shut his mouth and let the GM and staff do the work, now a days these players talk to damn much. Yeah I get that he wants a QB and all that but he didn't have to stay in CLE, He took the $ over winning because multiple teams would have wanted him, but he wanted the 10M this yr which will make him the highest paid Lineman.

Dang it, we're still three weeks away from free agency! I can't take it anymore! Someone sign Kirk Cousins so we can get started on Alex Smith and how "jacked" he is about playing for the Redskins!

[Schneed10]

The Browns attempted to trade significant assets for AJ McCarron last year at the trading deadline, but they filed the paperwork a few minutes after the deadline, so it didn't go through (lol).

But now that McCarron is an unrestricted free agent, it seems logical that they'd be in the mix for him. I mean it's not to say they didn't try to trade for other QBs at the deadline. So I wouldn't think it a certainty that they'll target McCarron as their number one target. But you have to figure he's a thought. Hue Jackson saw enough of him in Cinci, he should have a feel for what he's getting.
