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

[quote=mredskins;1171401]I saw Vinny Cerrato this morning at the rink. I asked him if we sign Kurt by the deadline and he simply said "no".[/quote]

Did you ask him why he was the dumbest front office executive in the history of the NFL?

[quote=skinsfan69;1171405]Griffin is better than EJ Manuel, Sanchez, Geno Smith and probably Gabbert. I've never even heard of Austin Davis. His issue is he literally can not finish a damn game w/out getting hurt.[/quote]

Yeah...but Im beginning to think now attitude and behavior has something to do with it as well.

But your right, he never learned how to protect himself.

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

[quote=sandtrapjack;1171394]The way things are presently, here are the options available. Just figure the over/under for each possibility:

1. Deal gets done and signed before July 16th. Drama is over. KC gets his contract. Washington gets their franchise QB.

2. July 16th comes and goes. KC plays under current tag. 2018 gets the Transition Tag. Which means KC can take other offers, but Washington has the option to match. If they match. KC gets his contract. Washington gets their franchise QB. If Washington does not match offer, KC is gone. More importantly, Washington gets NOTHING in compensation.

3. Plays under tag in 2017. Becomes FA in 2018

4. KC gets traded before July 17, 2017

I think if option 1 does not transpire, than KC will not be in Washington next year. But the 2018 draft is supposed to be deep at QB.

If option 2 or 3 occurs and KC signs with another team, you need to get a new GM. If KC leaves and the Skins get ZERO in return, that is a criminal act in the NFL and the GM should be shot.[/quote]

I mentioned this before, I truly believe that the market for Cousins and his salary demands might dry up. You have a handful of teams that would probably make a run at him, but at what price? Some of the teams that might want him may look at what Prescott has done, decide to draft Rosen or one of several talented guys coming out, coach them up and have them play on their rookie deals. That's probably a savings of 20 million or so.

No he is a very nice guy. I see him there quit a bit. He sucked at his job for the Skins but from what I can tell he is a nice guy.

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

I'm sure there are worse out there in the history of the league than Vinny, plus it's only fair to say he was GM when Snyder was much more involved.

Well I can think of one, whomever the person on the Vikings that gave the Cowboys all those draft picks for Herschel Walker.

Whoever in the Texans decided to give a ton of money to Brock Osweiller, only to turn around the next offseason and give Cleveland a draft pick to get him off their roster.

Wasn't Ditka the GM of the Saints when he did the trade for Ricky Williams?

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

Cousins will be 29 when this 2017 season starts (dob 8/19/88). He will be at least 1 year older when 2018 season starts.

At what point does Cousins and McCartney have to consider age as a motivating factor to get a LTD done.

---------------------------------------

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that [B]Allen and Cousins’ agent Mike McCartney had their first face-to-face meeting about the contract for the first time in two years [/B]at last month’s league meetings. They have since met a second time, which is part of an “improved, encouraging tone” that has created hope that a deal could get done by the deadline or after the 2017 season if things don’t move quite that quickly.

Article from 6/7/17 .... I guess the good news is that they are finally talking, but oddly how the hell do you go 2 years without having face to face talks w Cousins agent? Im sure Bruce's response will be that they have telephones in Hawaii but man.

Seriously, you're deflecting criticism of Vinny?
The guy was playing fantasy football with our roster.
And poorly.
He was a farging idiot.
He made us a laughing stock and set us back 8+ years.

I say it gets done Monday morning, an extension starting in 2018, KC keeping he's tag money, and after that: 5 year, 25/y, around 65 guaranteed.

Looks like crazy money but it'll look like a bargain 2 years from now, after guys like Russel Wilson, Stafford, Palmer, Ryan, Alex Smith and so on get their new contracts.

Saturday
5 years
25 per
62.5 guaranteed

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

Sunday
6 years 150m total value, 85 injury guaranted, 53.5mil fully guaranteed
(fully guaranteed = FT this year + transition tag amount next year +750K base each year, injury covers 3 full years)

I don't see how Cousins signs anything less.


I also think the deafening silence is very good news. If it was not happening, I believe that Cousins camp would be letting teams know the Skins numbers weren't to his liking.
