Nah, This is just business like Flacco and Baltimore (I hope for the same outcome). When we sign KC it will be at numbers similar to what Luck just got and we want to make sure he can win against better opponents, and he sees what Luck and Osweiler got and wants what he considers fair market value.

I'm sure he's pissed about $20m guaranteed for this year with plenty more on the way. He signed that offer pretty damn quick, he could have made things ugly if he really wanted to.

He earned the starting job from those people, and he will earn his money too.

Not to mention endorsements. Most places he would go he'd get a roughly similar paycheck but a huge drop-off in endorsement potential. DC loves Cousins now and if he continues to deliver, will land some major endorsements this offseason for one of the nation's biggest markets. "You like that" will no longer go to charity.

Not only that, he just doesn't seem like a guy to cause ANY controversy.

Idk where you guys are getting this nice guy impression from, ever since we traded all those draft picks for him it seems like he wants everything handed to him on a silver platter.

Are you talking about Cousins or RG3?

Thanks Joe, I needed that. I feel like I've lost my touch.

Report: No long-term deal expected for Redskins' Cousins before deadline

I'd rather overpay him after 1 more good season.

I have no problem with it and I doubt this kid has a prob with 19m while currently knocking down 660k.....

[punch it in]

Yeah this no agreement thing is completely irrelevant in the grand scheme of things on every level...

[kct1975]

This sums up the situation very well...

Redskins, Cousins take their chances

This is interesting

Washington Redskins general manager Scot McCloughan says he wants to re-sign quarterback Kirk Cousins to a long-term extension, but not if it means he can't afford to pay the team's young prospects.

"(You've) got to step back and say 'Okay, who do we have next year? (Are) there three to five to seven guys that we want to extend prior to the last year of their deal, or do we want to go after one and know we’re going to lose three or four next year?" McCoughan replied to a question about Cousins on SiriusXM Bleacher Report Radio, according to Dan Steinberg of The Washington Post.

"So it’s a fine line, and like I said, it’s tough, but that’s why we do this," McCloughan continued. "It’s the market. The NFL’s a phenomenal, phenomenal entity, and the money’s incredible. But the way I look at it is I want Kirk in a long-term deal, no doubt about it, but also I’m not gonna put our franchise in a situation where we’re gonna lose three or four younger guys that I think are gonna be good football players for one guy. I won’t do it. You know, that’s just how it is.

"And the quarterback position’s very very important, but you know what, so is every other position," McCloughan added. “We need football players. We need multiple football players, not one."
