Kirk Cousins 365 thread

Could this be even better? Could it mean the Skins and Cousins have agreed to the basic parameters of a deal, and now McCartney and Schaffer are meeting to begin hammering out the finer points? You'd think Allen would be in that meeting if there were stil major $ figures to discuss

They're still quite far apart. I'm sure both sides would like to come to a resolution on this sooner than later. And hopefully both will realize having each other is the best scenario for the short and long term

No I think Shaffer is charged with negotiating with McCartney to come to the best deal he can. When he's done, just like a car salesman Shaffer will go back to talk to his "manager". Basically, he'll go back to Allen when the weekend is over and say listen I've been able to get McCartney down to $__ per year, what do you want to do.

Then if it starts getting close, maybe Allen gets involved.

He won't waste his time with the early stages of negotiating. Shaffer will do that.

Damn you two for popping my balloons. Back to the boob thread I go...

Sounds plausible, but even if they are still far apart, going on Schneed's assumption that this is strictly a numbers meeting, that gives me some hope that trade talks would be the last resort thing.

Yeah the fact that it's a meeting with Shaffer is a very good thing. At the very very least, it means they're giving long term negotiations the old college try.

Doesn't necessarily mean that they can get close enough to agree (though I still think they will) but it at least unequivocally means that they're going to try.

I think if you're the Redskins, and you know you're never going to come up in your offers, then you don't even bother sending Shaffer to meet with McCartney. You just get started on talking trades, and that would be an Allen / McCartney discussion. And we now know that it's not - it's a Shaffer / McCartney discussion.

Depends on the guaranteed money. I think he gets more than that per year.

Yeah if the Redskins have absolutely no plans to trade Cousins like they say, then I doubt anything gets done before July.
