All for a 2nd rounder instead of a 3rd. It's just not a good return on investment at this point.

The tag and trade ONLY works if all 3 parties work to make it work out. NOTHING from KC's camp implies he will work with the Skins in any way.

20 days left.

This comes immediately after the good faith part, "It shall be deemed to be a violation of this provision if, while the tender is outstanding, a Club insists that such a player agree to a Player Contract at a compensation level during the upcoming season below that of the Required Tender amount."

That section has nothing to do with employing them or not. It's just about the money. In fact, this is probably how/why Cousins and his agent dug in their heals about the Tag number being where negotiations should start.

Anyways, I still don't understand this argument about how this will hurt FA. The Redskins don't go big in FA anymore. So maybe your argument is that we should this year. Fine, but realize if you're going big and you pay too much for FA you are risking that compensatory pick that everyone keeps saying shouldn't be risked. I don't get the logic. Either you think they should make smart FA moves and not overspend which negates the argument about the Tag hindering FA, or you spend big and potentially get no compensation for KC anyways.

I guess my point is, you better have some really vital targets in mind to forgo the chance to get valuable compensation for KC. If you don't, KC will have more urgency to get a deal done if he wants either that big pay day or the right team.

If the team makes some big splashes in FA and they make a big impact to this team then it will have been worth it, but if they have the same low key FA and let him walk... that's some dumb pussy bullshit for a compensatory pick.


Edit: Also, Cousins camp is presumably leaking a lot of threats against him being tagged, while the FO has been silent. It stinks of desperation to me on KCs part. Maybe they won't want to play ball, but they might just have to.
