Cousins Open to Trade.

[RedskinRat]

Any suggestions on which team would give us the best trade?

Browns have the most to give away and would be the stupidest team and probably give us the most.

My guess would be the browns since they have 10 draft picks (7 of them being in the first 4 rounds). I'm sure it also doesn't hurt that Kyle Shanahan is their OC and he likes Kirk.

If not the browns then i can see it being a team that might skip out on drafting a qb early in the draft like the Jaguars or the Raiders. Maybe even the Vikings.

How about Arizona, TB or the Rams?

Trading for Cousins makes sense for a lot of teams, if they think he can develop into a good QB. You have all the QB needy teams like Houston, Jacksonville, Minnesota, and maybe Cleveland and Tampa Bay that could play him immediately. Then you have the teams like Arizona and Oakland with veteran QBs that could sit him for a few years before having him start.

I don't think he'll ever be more than a great backup/below-average starter, and if someone offers a 3rd or a 4th plus a later pick, we need to take it. Also, if we're really fielding offers and are actually interested in trading him, we need to do it this offseason, preferably before the draft. We won't get peanuts for him next year.

Welp. The draft is this week, so if it happens, it will happen this week. I think it happens on or right before draft day. Would be nice to pick up an extra 3rd and/or 4th.

So since I like playing devils advocate...let's say Griffin struggles with the new offense, struggles and gets off to a slow start, or doesn't play well. Then what? What's the plan? Colt McCoy? Does that 3rd rounder for Cousins on the bench backing up Polumbus help? Or is the season lost and we get into the Jameis Winston sweepstakes?

IMO in your scenario we are in bad shape whether Cousins or McCoy, either way, is the backup.

Cousins wasn't THAT impressive when he came in for those final few games last year. So, I don't see as much value with hanging onto him this year as I would have last year. If a team is willing to offer anything above a 3rd for him, the team would be crazy not to accept that offer.

I don't see Griffin struggling with the offense Gruden brings in. If he gets off to a slow start, it will be for other reasons other than picking up a new offense. If we see Colt McCoy during the regular season, it will be one of two reasons. Either Griffin is injured or the 'skins are whoppin' so much butt that RG3 gets to take the rest of the day off.

At this point I can't say Colt is not a down grade from Kirk. Yeah maybe if Kyle was still here and Kirk knew the offense he have an edge over Colt. I just don't see the head and shoulders above talent of Kirk over Colt.

I think a lot of folks on here over rate Kirk.

I was hoping the Cult of Kirk would end after his meh performance at the end of the season. guess not

Exactly.

Let's say Kirk stays and Colt beats him out of the 2nd string job; Does anyone think that would be Sportscenter Breaking News worthy?

I will say it now and I will eat crow if it changes. I predict Jason Campbell will have had a better career then Kirk Cousins by the time it is all said and done.

I think they are gonna let Cousins go where he has a chance to compete. We need to trade him before he gets into any actual competitions. Losing to Colt or proving to be only slightly better than Colt would kill his trade value.

I completely agree with you.
