[quote=metalskins;1168741]Are we still talking 'bout steak or are we back to Kirk Cousins?[/quote]

I don't think we will hear much on Kirk before July 14th... (There's a chance we would before the draft but not sure about that.)

...

Do you guys eat tartare ?

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

I've had tartare, but I prefer cooked.

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

Had tartare twice. Enjoyed it, because it's meat. But the best thing about steak is how it crusts up when a marbled piece of meat hits a really hot surface.

That brown caramelized fat is where all the flavor is. I agree, prefer cooked.

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

Tartare is good but I definitely prefer it cooked. Love raw fish though.

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

Haven't had tartare. Would be willing to try it though.

a lot of the latino markets around here sell dirt cheap ceviche, the fish ceviche is good but the shrimp ceviche is great.

they used to have this sushi place in the mall, conveyor belt style, each plate $2, usually 3-4 pieces on each plate. then they raised the price to $2.50 a plate and went out of business several months later.

Would love to see how it's prepared in the US. In France, a real good tartare is fresh meat cut with a knife, mixed with onions and capers and a lot of shit. I personally love it when it's well prepared. Otherwise it's just raw meat...

I don't care for raw meat of any kind. I can get into a blood-dripping rare steak on occasion because I enjoy the sear with the wonderful taste of cooked fat mixed with the taste of rare red meat.

Have had it the way you described it a few times. A couple of times it had a raw egg on top. Definitely pretty tasty, but I'll take a cooked steak 10 out of 10 times.

Who are the two men in the back row on the right? The man next to Gruden looks like Maurice Harris to me. The other one looks like he could be Kirk Cousins's brother.

Cooley and Kevin talked a lot about this redskins tweet:

[url]https://twitter.com/Redskins/status/846483988915126274/photo/1[/url]

They were wondering if this meant something regarding the odds of KC signing a LTD.
They said the people in charge of the twitter account had to be aware that in the current situation this tweet would be interpreted in many ways...

I already said this regarding another social media post, it's nothing but a post... but they have to know it can feel like a promise.

What do you think?

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

They just had kurt on NFL insider on ESPN live from London.He said he is very happy and that he is "under contract" and is looking forward to starting the season and working with a new group of guys.When asked about a long term deal he said ,"you have to talk to the redskins about that,I am under contract.".He said all the right things,he's a smart guy.

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

Lets play GM....I Ask Cousins a simple question BEFORE DRAFT..Do you intend to play for us long term??? and if so how much is your asking price..WE NEED TO KNOW! ..if the skins believe that He wants to be here long term and his price is realistic then we plan our draft ..If we don't believe he will be here past next year then we draft a QB with top pick and let him learn a year behind Cousins..Is this asking to much???

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

It's pretty easy to determine his price, the team needs to move closer to $25 per year and up the guaranteed. $20 per year just isn't a realistic offer.

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

Bruce needs to get it done or its another failure for him and Snyder period.

Cousins has said (in so many words) that the tag is kind of dictating what his agent is asking for, which means it's somewhere around $24k-$25M a year. I'm not sure on the guaranteed part of the deal though. I don't think our front office is too dumb to know what it will take to get Cousins signed long term. I think they're merely playing the game and will wait until the very last to sign him to a long term contract.

I'm not really sure what the strategy of not signing him long term accomplishes. You've already paid him $44M guaranteed for two years. Last year, I could understand. This year, not so much.

This really isn't about Bruce. If Snyder wanted to get a deal done then this would be water under the bridge. Think about it, Snyder had no problem overpaying for numerous players through the years. He wouldn't let certain guys leave the building. They totally overpaid is Norman. He only had one good year. Frankly I never even heard of the guy until the blowup with Beckham. Gave Fat Albert 40 million. Yet he refuses to get a deal done with someone that's drafted and earned it the hard way. The only reason I can come up with is it's personal. He doesn't like Cousins.

There is definitely something going on.
IMO I think Snyder wants a glamour boy QB.
Some one he can party and pull some hot ass with(lets not pretend married billionaires are faithful).
Kirk isn't that guy.

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

There is nothing going on.

Denver low-balled their Super Bowl MVP (Von Miller) and did not make a long-term deal until the July deadline last year. And there was plenty of drama from leaked details of the negotiation to Von Miller taking shots at Elways in social media.

This is how deals typically happen in the NFL. It is annoying as hell for us fans, but people need to quit acting like this doesn't happen elsewhere.

Honestly, I'm more concerned at the fact that the team has been very frugal in its spending, than any other drama stuff.

Thank goodness for (a) post on topic and not about how much the guys here like to swallow meat and (b) very reasoned and thought out. This is how deals get done - there really isn't ANY reason for either side to sign now, kinda like when each team takes the entire 10 minutes to make the draft pick that everyone knows is coming, you never know if someone will come in with an insane deal that you can't pass up.

Also, I'm going to try this:
