The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

You guys wanted a new thread , well I figured why not?

Jets fans reveal top free-agent priority — sign Kirk Cousins - NY Daily News


https://www.newsday.com/sports/footb...ins-1.16127010

Looks like the J-E-T-S fans are ALL IN on Kirk and are going to make him their top target along with Leveon Bell.. Man that would be something huh?

Think it happens?

Stay tuned for the next episode of Drama in DC

The interesting thing is that teams this year are outwardly showing their desire for free agents, more than I have seen before. This is tampering, the Redskins need to trade Cousins, the well is poisoned.

How do you trade a FREE AGENT ?

Couldn't have said it better myself. Ha!
There are a ton of QB starved teams and Cousins is gong to reap the rewards for this type of market. Should be interesting to watch. We have no leverage to try anything other than sign him.

Exclusive rights franchise and trade. Most of you are snippy and presumptuous... however, you don't understand how the franchise tag works, nor free agency for that matter.

This would work w/ a team that could absorb 34 million. A team like Cleveland could easily do it.

The receiving team has the ability to negotiate a long-term deal with the player up and until July 15th. Therefore, the Redskins can ask Cousins's agent to seek out a trade and he can negotiate a long-term deal with that new team as they see fit. If the deal is struck, the player no longer counts 34 mm against the cap for the new team.

Expressing an interest in a player isn't tampering.

Tampering is if they called his agent and set up a meeting or Kirk himself.

Yes, not just saying "we'd like Kirk to be our QB" to a reporter.

I'm rooting for him to find a team that wants him as much as he wants it. Meanwhile I look forward to building up the rest of the roster to the point where we can become the 4th or 5th team to ever win a Super Bowl despite average qb play.

Some will try to tell you he’s average...

Can’t wait to see what average truly looks like again, I miss the Jason Campbell era!

It truly boggles my mind some people will be happy when Kirk leaves. I really believe those people are still so upset Kirk turned out to be the 1st round pick not RG3 they can’t see the forest through the trees.

Lmao you really think ppl are still salty about that? - -I can't say i will be "happy" when kirk leaves - but i wil be glad in the way that hey if thats his choice then we will save a lot of cap space. I'm so up in the air tho I have supported kirk very much until starting to waiver after the week 17 giants game... and then this season which while hard to judge, was still a season. Its a tough situation and i hope w.ever happens is for the best for the franchise.

I agree "happy" isn't the right term if he leaves, and there are two underlying parts, 1st is the fact that every fan will be relieved once the indecision is over and a final final revised final outcome is known; 2nd is whether he left because the Skins didn't ante up, or because he was looking for an overboard contract. I don't want him here at 34M, but anything 28 and less is reasonable and hopefully he takes it.
