I am going to my thoughts on the idea of us franchising Kirk and trading him here, I invite honest discussion and feedback.

How would this work> Redskins would Franchise Kirk, and attempt to trade him before the draft. We would invite his agent to negotiate a long-term deal, while we workout possible compensation with the other team. If this is true, the team has to have an agreement in play with a possible team.

Why would Kirk do this?

> To lock-in $34mm for one year

> Because Redskins could pay him that money and make him sit out of football for a year. Highly unlikely, but I think this management group is crazy enough to do it.

> Lost of opportunity- When the desired team of choice gets another QB.

Why would he not do it...

> Pissing match with Redskins brass.

> He can bank on them not keeping $34 mm on the books.

> The prospect of truly becoming a Free Agent

> His future team losing draft picks in the exchange for him.
