If this actually happens it would seriously screw future qb negotiations.
And if Kirk actually entertained this offer all that "winner" talk would be proven to be absolute horseshit.

I was reading with interest until this part:
Whether or not Cousins is willing to go down that path with the Jets may depend on comfort for him. He clearly liked Washington and was willing to make something work, but the franchise never committed to him, particularly on the financial front.
Almost wrong enough to make the whole story bogus, in my opinion

yeah there is no way we could have kept Kirk, even if we really wanted to.

I call BS on that, he didn't want to stay or else he would have period
Even if he wanted to stay the team didn’t want to pay him.

Not that kind of $$ he knows he will get in FA. Honestly I think we all can agree that Kirk is not worth $30M next season.
Not to keep rehashing the same BS but if we paid him 2 years ago when he wanted $19M a year he would be a bargain right now. Such is life, I’m ready to move on with Smith.

Yeah he never countered Bruce's offer last summer. So he's either seeing the opportunity for a huge money grab by getting to free agency, or he flat out didn't want to be a Redskin. Either way that screams he's not the right leader for us.
Once he refused to counter Bruce's offer, the writing was on the wall. It was clear he wasn't invested in us for the long term. So there's no reason we should feel the need to be invested in him.
I look forward to the dimension Smith adds with his ability to scramble. Replacing Fuller will not be easy but now there's a path forward. I'm more excited for the future than I was after the 2016 season when Cousins lit it up. Having things settled at QB is key.

Fuller is a good CB but he's never going to be a 1 or 2, he'll be a 3 for the majority of his career, not a huge loss imo.
