I do use how they screwed up the KC situation as part of my judgement.

How do you compartmentalize it without taking it into consideration how they screwed up years ago?

So they did their job for once and tried to clean up their mess and we are supposed to be happy with it?

It reminds of the saying "we are trying to make chicken parm out of chicken shit"

As a Skins fan compartmentalizing and having a strong liver are the top 2 requirements lol. I compartmentalize every year into a folder and get my kool-aid jug out for following season. 2018 SB champs!

Probably not, but there's a chance that the Broncos work out a deal with the Skins to sign and trade to avoid the bidding war and square away their QB position before FA.

There was apparently a bidding war for the Smith trade, so there's a hungry QB market willing to trade picks for the chance to sign a franchise QB long term.

Cousins would have to play ball, but if he likes the Broncos, maybe he also just wants to get it done.

It's very unlikely, but I don't think it's off the table.

If somehow we could pull this off, it would be some icy hot for the butthurt.

Plus it would be great just throw this in S10 face ;)

Smith is going to help the defense. He may not light up the score board but the low turnovers helps the defense big time. With smith have a good punter and you will get field position advantage often. You won't give up cheap ones so teams will have to earn it against you.

Cousins wants to test the market, he doesn’t want his future dictated in a trade. At this point he doesn’t owe the Skins or anybody, anything. I don’t see a reason why he would go along with a tag and trade.

Don't throw good money after bad.

Our other options were to have Cousins tagged again and being paid 34 million or him walking as free agent and hoping a rookie could play well or start Colt.

Alex is just as good as Cousins to me, and 33 isn't old for a qb, he should be solid thru age 35, by that time we have a young guy waiting in the wings.

I'm just glad the team can start planning their off season and draft now.

Cousins isn't getting traded. They would have to tag him first, and he would have to agree to sign the tag. Not happening.

Article lays out the possibility of the transition tag.

Why would Cousins agree to this?? Makes zero sense. And this article was out before the trade went down.

If we could win 11-12 games I will gladly eat some crow

Been reading there was a bidding war in the trade for Smith. Makes me wonder what the Chiefs said 'no' to before they accepted the Skins offer of draft pick and a slot DB.
