Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

Boy the media sure loves to blow shit out of proportion when it comes to the Redskins... and JLC can suck a railroad spike he's an Ass-Hat

I don't know. It will be interesting to watch it pan out. I have a real bad feelings the Redskins suddenly become the Redskins again, screw up the negotiations with Cousins, and he ends up walking next offseason. To me, it is a damning sign that RG3 remains on the roster... Even other writers have pointed out the fact that March creeps ever closer and RG3 is still here. Do they pay RG3 AND Cousins? It sounds insane but it really isn't when you think of stuff we have done in the past and likely still could do.....

I will never understand the way you think.

Everything written here is either entirely wrong or entirely misinterpreted.

There's no sense in cutting RGIII when there's a chance of a trade, unlikely as it may be.

It's not a conspiracy, it's just common sense. Moves aren't made in this league until they have to be made, simple as that.

I'll say it again, rg3 has nothing to do with the cousins contract negotiations.
Zero, nothing. Rg3 is not relevant to cousins.

I haven't been a fan as long as most people (i'm only 30 years old), so most of my experiences have been with us being the dumpster fire of the NFL, watching horrible FA signings, bad coach hirings, and general ineptness from the owner and his top people.

2015 for me, seemed too good to be true because for maybe the first time ever, we had a coach who had the balls to bench the anointed starter, and a GM who had his back. Everyone seemed to look like a competent unit.

I just get afraid, sometimes, that we will revert back to the crap that we are sadly known for. I love the skins with all my heart and hope its not true, but sometimes I just get afraid.

It's ok to believe SS. I'm sure a guy like McC knows his self worth and wouldn't have agreed to work here if it meant the owner would constantly be stepping on his toes and making him look bad.

Ex-NFL agent: RG3 'a pawn' in Redskins' contract talks with Cousins | FOX Sports

I will post this, for those who wondered why I think the way I do. I felt in the beginning, and still feel now, that they are going to keep RG3 just incase the situation with Cousins doesn't work out...

I don't want to be harsh but I really can't wait until the day his bonus is due to arrive so this will be put to rest.

I don't understand what there isn't to work out.

Long term deal? We're good.
No long term deal? Franchise tag; we're good.

The last thing we would do would be to hold onto RG3 for next season. The very last. Even if Cousins dies in plane crash today, we are moving on from him.

How is there a chance? Nobody is taking on Griffin with a 16mil salary and why in the fuck would he structure his contract to facilitate a trade for us? Not when he could go out of the free market and determine his own destination?

There is no chance.

I've never heard of Joel Corry but that article makes him sound like an idiot.

How can someone or thing be used as a 'pawn' or as 'insurance' when the other party doesn't (and shouldn't) believe that person or thing is a viable option?

Kinda defeats the logic of his supposed point.

That Guy · 02-20-2016, 03:59 PM

the world is full of idiots. the internet just gives them a voice.

rg3 will be gone, kirk will be here regardless of a new contract. i'm fine with it either way. he either has to prove it wasn't a fluke or we possibly save 20% over the long haul. good QBs cost more money than i'd like, but that's just the way things are.

REDSKINS4ever · 02-21-2016, 06:22 AM

I have been real critical of Cousins. This is how I view it....the Redskins didn't defeat a team with a winning records last year. We did win the NFC East only because it wasn't a competitive division. Cousins didn't play that great against teams with great defenses. Nor has he ever. I was pleased with the great improvement I saw from him...but I'm not sold on Kirk Cousins just yet.

Scot Mccloughan shouldn't sign him to a long term deal just yet. The Redskins should use the franchise tag on Cousins and see what he does in 2016....the challenge will be far stiffer with a 1st place schedule....

View Poll Results: What should the Redskins do with Cousins?
Sign him to a long term deal	47	75.81%
Let him walk	4	6.45%
Use the franchise tag again	11	17.74%
