Kirk Cousins 365 thread

Albert Breer is reporting that Kirk Cousins has been hit with the Exclusive franchise tag.

Now we'll see how much he truly wants to be here

Bruce Allen is the old man you see at restaurants complaining about food prices and how he used to be able to buy a burger for a quarter.

This whole thing reminds me of Brad Johnsons last year here.
Brad was a good QB but wasn't the big name Superstar type player (RG3, Jeff George) that Dan wants.
They let Brad leave for Tampa and end up spending 15 years (Yes it's been that long!) chasing a franchise QB.
Now they got a QB on the same level if not better than Brad Johnson but they are willing to let him go because he isn't the guy who is going to run around and make plays like Brett Favre(IMO).

This is ridiculous.
I'm shocked Jay Cutler isn't on the roster yet.

I got the Redskins sticking it to me in one hole and the Republicans AND Democrats tag teaming me in the other. :doh:

Nailed it.

Now we'll see how much he truly wants to be here

so if we have now committed to 44Million over 2years, shouldn't that be enough to let him know he is "wanted" here? His twitter post, "Tag! I'm it" seems pretty snarky at this point, almost as bad as some of RG3's :(

This is obviously a bad marriage. It is time for a trade, reportedly they will not trade KC. However, that is likely posturing. The Redskins cannot act as if they are desperate to trade.

You read a lot into that innocuous three word post.

Can't give him a deal midseason. If he's tagged, once you pass July 15th you may not negotiate on a contract again until the season is over. You have to play under the tag. Can't even pick up the phone to talk about it.

Thanks for correcting me on that. Anyway, I want the stupid Redskins executives or executive to sign him long-term.

How is it a bad marriage??? Both sides may not be buddy buddy but KC is now getting well over 40 million over two years for good play.

The exclusive tag, in my mind, changes everything we've speculated on. No other teams can negotiate with Kirk Cousins now. That's not to say there's no longer a chance that a trade deal might take place, but in my opinion, if the Redskins were open to a trade deal, they would have tagged him non-exclusive.

Maybe, but take Baker's post, when he hasn't officially been signed

I don't think they're open for a trade UNLESS someone gives them the farm. All this media talk is just that.
