Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag

Dumb move by Bruce Allen. There was a low chance KC would ever sign here, but now it's zero. That letter feels like when Scott McC was kicked out --> we tend to kick franchise personalities out and then smear their names. Sure, Bruce offered $53, but would've taken much higher guaranteed $$ to keep him -- so the letter is just dumb.

I think we all know Bruce screwed it up last year when he could've had him for $20, but now we only have a 1-2 year QB rental. Regardless, a $25 mil/year for an above average QB would've crippled us, so I'm not completely upset. But we need to start looking long-term replacements.

Had hope we'd be good / playoff team for the next 5-10 years, but now I think our maximum is a Houston.
