Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

In 2011 Shanahan could have made a run a Gabbert or Ponder. He didn't. He knew they weren't worth drafting and waited a year for the better QB class.

With all the talk of Cousins future contract how do you guys feel it will effect the other players and the cap situation..something will have to give ..what high paid redskins will become expendable and how will this effect the team.

That's y u have to draft well and keep your own guys. Djax will probably be a casualty due to kirks deal

Saying goodbye to Hall, Lichtensteiger, Lauvao, Jackson, won't be hard. Should clear some cap space in addition to the cap space growing we will be fine. These guys can be replaced, Jackson too.

Well this is at least a bit of good news...

Thank God! Finally some great news regarding Cousins' situation.

So if he is tagged again, that is the last time they can tag him right, which means potentially in 2018 Kirk can sign with any team?

No we could tag him a 3rd time. They will get a deal done though

It was between Him and okung

yup and shanny went with williams because he was faster and fit his zone blocking scheme better . . . thank goodness

tagging cousins again is a bad move, in my opinion. it could leave a bad taste in his mouth, and make him want to try free agency. his mindset could be the skins dont trust him, and want him to prove his play every year. no upper tiered QB would be ok with that

At this point, if we franchise him again it's essentially making his contract a 2yr 59Million guaranteed (24mil this year, FT value of 35mil next year.) We need to sign him up for 6 years, and get his guaranteed number around 75m.

He's making himself a very expensive qb. Still need to sign him.

If we tag him at $24M next year, we'll still have another $26M in space BEFORE cutting Hall, Lichtensteiger and any others.

I've been saying this for a long time - salary cap is not a constraint now that McCloughan is building via the draft.
