Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

Finally.
Maybe this drama train will derail for a while so we can focus on FA and the draft.

Woodson: Cousins is 'absolutely' overpaid



Darren Woodson believes Redskins QB Kirk Cousins does not have the body of work worthy of the franchise tag, which would put him among the top 10 highest-paid QBs next season.


this crap is running on espn. Its like espn and its employees don't understand much about the NFL, how contracts work, how the position of QB works or understand basic premise of "value".

I'd agree that $19.9M per season would be overpaying for Cousins based on body of work to date. But the tradeoff is that you aren't committed beyond next year if he turns around and goes in the tank.

Analysts are paid to overreact. $19.9M will not be the final number for Cousins this season, they'll work out a deal sometime over the summer.

Check Bradford's new deal for the definition of overpaid.

I just just going to mention that. He is the definition of average, isn't durable and got 36 million over the next two years. I think that sort of helps set the bar for Cousins if Bradford is getting 18 million a year. Kirk's agent has to see that and is probably or will be asking for more.

So now that they overpaid the shit out of Bradford, very little chance we see a long term deal with Cousins this year.

Sam Bradford is the Jeff Fisher of quarterbacks. Mediocre as hell, but continues to get paid a kings ransom and stay employed.

Howie roseman said last year was great, let's lock everybody up to extensions

Bradford’s structure, guarantee on signing will give better picture of real value | ProFootballTalk (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2016/03/01/bradfords-structure-guarantee-on-signing-will-give-better-picture-of-real-value/)

@AndrewBrandt
Some details on Bradford/Eagles deal: of $26M total guarantee, $22M fully guaranteed upon signing. $18M in 2016, up to $20M w/playoff wins.

Bradford details continued: $11M signing bonus, $7M salary in 2016. $4M of 2017 salary fully guaranteed, another $4M guaranteed for injury.

Bradford gets fully secured $22M, $2M more than Tag w/playoff upside. Eagles get 2nd year option with $4M risk, another $4M if major injury.

At this point I'm content with letting KC play on the tag this year. If he earns the monster deal next year so be it. It would be a win/win all around.
