Re: Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag
 

[quote=skinsfan69;1171182]I just think KC wants to wait a year and see how things are going to play out in LA and SF. One thing to remember is 2018 will be a stronger Qb class. He may not have anybody willing to take on his contract demands.[/quote]

Yes, a Pro Bowl, stand-in-the-pocket modern prototype qb that has had two consecutive baller seasons might not find a worthy suitor that doesn't have to give up anything besides a big money deal that will easily fit under the cavernous salary cap thanks to astronomical tv deals that have made the NFL billions (with a B). Seems plausible.

Ditto for everyone Skins, just don't have a stroke over something you don't have control over. If Kirk did end up ditching us after this season then we wil have do deal with it, but in the end life goes on. You always see the small minority of fans go off like a bomb when stuff like this occurs. Not worth it, plus there are many other distractions available. I wouldn't take too much out of those articles/tweets. Modern news is about creating news, not just reporting it. We have 20 days to go til the deadline, still plenty of time to get a deal done. Just hope Kirk gives the Skins a break in restructuring any deal so they can resign guys next year.

And for all this, there's things called figures of speech. Not quite meant to be taken literally, but when the crushing boredom of the offseason is upon us I guess there's nothing better to do.

Just telling the guy to chill/relax. You have one article saying Kirk wants out and another that is just a bunch of tweets. Modern news outlets create news just as much as they report it. Nothing to base having a stroke over. And what in my post was not the truth? Football is not just football, but entertainment, in fact it is mostly entertainment anymore with all the hype. You can still be a fan and have an understanding of reality. As a preteen I loved pro wrestling and certain wrestlers, even though I knew it was fake, but it made for great entertainment. Same goes for the NFL. The NFL isn't fake, but it is just a game, nothing more nothing less. You watch it to be entertained or distracted. Skins winning or losing won't affect your bottom line or your life, outside of what $ you paid for the tickets, concessions, etc, unless you are a big time gambler. That is my point. Just wait and see what happens with Kirk and the FO and let it ride. You have no say in the matter and it personally doesn't affect you in any way.

I'm an NFL fan.
Chill and relax?
WTF is that?

x2 again.

I noticed you are 47 I am 43, when I was say 12 to maybe 30, I was hardcore Skins. If they lost it ruined my whole day etc...then you get married have kids get more responsibility at work etc....and well KC getting or not getting his billions is hardly going to give me a stroke.

Mooby is still a young grasshopper as well. =)

Re: Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag
 

It feels like people have trouble telling the difference between when a reporter is reporting news vs when they are offering conjecture. Dianna's tweets are conjecture. Meanwhile, JLC offered conjecture a week ago saying he thinks there's an 80% chance that Cousins ends up signing by the deadline.

There has been no *news* reported on Cousins in the last couple of months, aside from Schefter saying the sides have been talking and the tone is improved.

We as educated fans must have the ability to filter through the noise. And it comes down to this: deadlines spur action. Talks can take on whatever tone they want from March - July 14, it doesn't matter. All that matters is the actual $ figures offered just as the deadline approaches, and both sides put their cards on the table.

Don't lose your mind. As hard as it is to wait, that's all you can do. July 17 is when we'll find out how badly these sides want each other.

Re: Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag
 

By the way, and I'm not saying anything we don't already know, but Dianna is nice to look at. I've definitely got a thing. She needs some attention in boob thread.

Re: Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag
 

My bet is that Cousins does not have a good year and his value will suffer. If he struggles who would pay him 25 million a year? IF the Skins FO really believed he was the End all of QB's he would already be signed..His feelings are hurt because they still have reservations about making him one of the highest paid players in the League..When he threw that int in the giants game I said this is who he is..a heartbreaker type player..the jury is STILL out.

I think it will happen, but stating the reason as the Redskins will use common sense, ascribes an ability to understand common sense that the Redskins have routinely showed a lack of.
