Report: Kirk Cousins trade could go down next week (http://was.247sports.com/Bolt/Report-Kirk-Cousins-trade-could-go-down-next-week-51427864)

If we give up cousins and our 17th pick to the 49ers; I am seriously becoming a Ravens fan. That is beyond stupid.

Right. Two years ago I moved to Wyoming. I can choose from Broncos and/or Seahawks and get plenty of support here. :-(

I still don't believe it. It's all the same Jeremiah report that keeps getting picked up and referenced by all of these outlets.

Jeremiah doesn't know. I mean I'm not saying it's not possible, but I'll wait for the Werders, Schefters, JLCs and Rap Sheets to weigh in.

I think Jeremiah is speculating.

Why would we be the ones throwing in a first rounder in addition to Kirk? The minimum asking price should be 2 firsts for KC. That is the worst trade I have ever heard of in all my years. I would be done with this franchise if that happens.

And that part of it is getting legs where it shouldn't. Jeremiah said it could involve the 17th pick, but that doesn't mean the only thing we'd get back is the 2nd overall. It could still mean multiple picks coming our way.

I just think we should slow our roll and wait for this to be corroborated by the plugged-in insider types.

Thank you for being the cooling head of reason but I think I need to take a break from the boards because the only thing on the menu is shit sandwiches right now.

Basically the end days for the negotiations prior to applying the tag. Both sides will play to the media a bit, but I would imagine there are at least contract points going back and forth. The deadline for the tag is March 1st. Any news leaks or media reports, other than a done deal obviously, is just one side or the other trying to get pressure on the other.

I just want to hear a leak that says both sides are working together and are intent on making a deal happen. Is that too much to ask?

Probably so. And much like the report that a head coach has the support of the owner days before that same coach is fired, I think a good report would carry a lot of skepticism. Honestly, I think the lack of real news is the best sign that both sides are actually working on it. If it was a dead deal, the Redskins would be signing other players or moving on to other contracts. The fact that they are still working on a structure that gives the Skins cap space and Cousins the deal he wants should be the de facto assumption barring any real news from Redskins Park or KC himself.

I think we are down to two possible scenarios playing out here.

1. Kirk wants out, period, end of story and will sign the franchise tag, play one more year and move on in 2018. No negotiations with other teams - done.

2. Kirk wants to stay, but they are so far apart on negotiations that his agent said screw it...apply the non-exclusive franchise tag and let's prove to the organization what the market is for your services.

Honestly if Kirk is smart he goes with scenario #1. Take your $24mil and sign a long term deal next year with even more guaranteed $$$.
