Who is Kirk Cousins?

[JoeRedskin]

Okay, to be clear, I am liking KC a lot more than a month ago. He has had three solid games without a clunker (so expect a 4 INT day against the Panthers ).

However, when it comes to contracts, to start saying he will - or should - get a Russell Wilson or Cam Newton contract is ridiculous. RW has a Superbowl ring. Cam had been a four year starter. KC has been neither of those. He is a guy who may be on the verge of being a very good QB. He still has the season to go.

If he continues to play like he has in these last three games over the rest of the season, he will get a solid, short term contract (three years real terms - maybe two). It would be ludicrous to sign him to a budget busting contract based on less than one year of consistent good play as a starter. His big contract will be his next contract if he continues to play with consistency.

He will be a tough sign but I am pretty sure, if he performs well, he gets resigned for a nice but not brutal contract.

QBs are overpaid in this league nowadays. But I agree, I don't think Cousins contract should come anywhere near what Cam or Wilson got. I really don't think the Skins should have a problem being able to sign him to a long term.

Ryan Tannehill got 4 years $77 million. Kirk is not going to be cheap. And does he want to stay in Washington ?

Only 2 places I could see as a "threat" to leave to would be the Saints or the Broncos where both QB would be retiring. Maybe the Jets?

Why wouldn't want to stay in the place that drafted him and gave him a chance to be "the guy"? Remember, nobody really tried to trade for him.

McC has been in Cousins corner and its his call.

Yes he'll stay in Washington.
He loves it there.
He wont be greedy, his contract will work for him and Washington.
Cousins is an easy going church boy.
