The Salary cap sucks.

After the performance Foles had in the Superbowl, no doubt a few teams who may have been watching what happens with Kirk might now reach out to Philly. He will be a lot cheaper money wise and draft pick wise than Kirk. Can't help but wonder if this at least hurts his value a little bit. Seems like Cousins' potential future market seems to dry up day by day.
No it does not.
I heard Cousins is headed to the XFL [emoji38]

I am going to my thoughts on the idea of us franchising Kirk and trading him here, I invite honest discussion and feedback.
How would this work> Redskins would Franchise Kirk, and attempt to trade him before the draft. We would invite his agent to negotiate a long-term deal, while we workout possible compensation with the other team. If this is true, the team has to have an agreement in play with a possible team.
Why would Kirk do this?
> To lock-in $34mm for one year
> Because Redskins could pay him that money and make him sit out of football for a year. Highly unlikely, but I think this management group is crazy enough to do it.
> Lost of opportunity- When the desired team of choice gets another QB.
Why would he not do it...
> Pissing match with Redskins brass.
> He can bank on them not keeping $34 mm on the books.
> The prospect of truly becoming a Free Agent
> His future team losing draft picks in the exchange for him.

What happens if the Redskins place the exclusive tag on Cousins just to keep him from leaving for one more year, but he doesn't sign it? Does he have to sit out the entire season?

Why would another team do it?
> He is the arguably the best option on the market
> If a team believes that he wouldn't consider then seriously otherwise and has the cap room, why not go for it?
> The coach or person involved needs to results immediately.
I think one of the many monkey wrenches in this plan is Nick Foles. Why pay top dollar in a trade for Cousins, when you can get the Superbowl MVP.

Can't play without a contract
