Kirk Cousins 365 thread

Negotiations are almost always driven by deadlines. Simple as that.

I feel a little better about things after hearing BA and JG come out and say positive things about KC. Just still confused why they're not negotiating. The season has been over with for weeks and so far nothing. That makes no sense to me.

Preeeetty sure they can't negotiate until after the Super Bowl.

That's not true according to that ESPN Article on Cousins, called "Kirk Cousins has millions of reasons not to fear the franchise tag". They said that the skins have been free to re-negotiate with Cousins since the minute the regular season ended

Keim said that and there is no doubt he is one of the best, but I always remember the season ends after the Superbowl. Either way it likely will be around the deadline to tag him before a deal is done.

One of our posters here said that may be really nothing more than "coach speak", intended to drive up Cousin's asking price in terms of the trade, enabling Washington to get more for him.

Well, you have apparently gone full ShakySnake on this topic.

Let's compare our sources: My sources, the President of the Redskins and the Redskins Head Coach, say that it is a virtual certainty that Kirk will be with the team in 2017. Your source, one of our posters, says that what they said is just "coach speak". So you weigh the credibility of the sources and come to the conclusion that the Redskins might not re-sign Kirk, thus causing the sky to fall and forcing you to renounce your Redskins fandom forever.

Nice job of seeing right through those lying bastards at Redskins Park.

The Skins will Sign Cousins..However when they do make him one of the highest paid QB's in the League and he struggles some and he has those moments with game on the line and does not get it done there will be pages and pages on these forums about what were the Skins thinking when they gave it all to this guy..Look I am pro Kirk however it is refreshing to see the Front office not jumping the gun and at least play out all options..This team is not a QB away from a Super Bowl team..period. in fact the Offense most likely won't have the talent next year than i did this year. Denver with a aging Peyton won super bowl last year in spite of Peyton because they had a stud team around them..Dallas was very good this year with a rookie QB but look at their OL and Running game and D. We need to sign Cousins BUT how much is to much and what is wrong with seeing what some desperate team may give up to get him..Are you guys saying you would turn down 3 number one picks for Cousins?? What would you Give him up for? i believe there is a team out there that might would do that .I would never trade him for one pick but 3 number ones...Yes I would .

Other teams can't negotiate with Kirk Cousins right now, so there's really no rush. I'm sure the tires are being kicked right now in terms of contract negotiations, but you just won't hear much until the deadlines.

Hey I get what you are saying, I know how it must sound. But how many times have we seen Bill Belichick lie about something team related? How many times has he said "We have no plans to sign - "XXX" Player", and then they go and do it? I'm just saying every coach in the NFL lies when it is to protect the best interest of the team.

So if I am right about Kirk, and I might be, is anybody going to apologize to me? Hey I hope he stays here forever, but this is the redskins we are talking about. I'll be glad when the Cousins situation is over with one way or the other so we can all get back to posting about "regular" stuff, the games, etc....

Because the only source I could find is an uncredible SB Nation article that says they can start negotiating after Jan 1st 2017 I will take your word for it.

But...

Counterpoint: How do you know they haven't been negotiating for a month already? I know it's hard but in this day and age it is possible to conduct negotiations in secret. Maybe they already came to a deal and are waiting until after the Super Bowl to announce it.

If you are right and Kirk Cousins walks, either in FA or trade, as highly unlikely as I think it is, I will kneel before your might and recognize your power as the soothsayer of Redskin country. (figuratively speaking).
