But he isn't, and he isn't because he held our team and others hostage based on self valuation. So if he gets criticized for failing in clutch moments the criticism is merited.

Agreed. And that's what Cousins' apologists will never understand.

I think there is plenty of blame to go around on both sides with Kirk Cousins.

The only blame the Skins have is not cutting him loose and drafting his successor earlier. And that is on the whole FO for holding onto players way past when they should be off the team.

We settled for a 3rd rounder when we probably could've had a first rounder when we first knew he wasn't going to sign here.

We are still doing this same act too with Trent Williams and Ryan Kerrigan who for some dumbshit reason we are trying to extend.

How can you hold anybody hostage in a FA contract negotiation?

Nobody has to make an offer, nobody has to accept an offer.

Holding hostage might not be the best term, but he put himself on a pedestal wanting a fully guaranteed short term contract with elite money. And yes, the teams were foolish to acquiesce.

I'm not picking at you, but I never heard or read about his negotiations going public.

He asked for a lot of money structured a certain way. I don't know how that's putting himself on a pedestal.

At the end of his contract, he'll be ready to negotiate another big money contract because of his age.

He bet on himself. He got paid. Nobody held a gun to any NFL team's head and made them offer him anything.
