Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

(otherwise he would have been traded)

I do not think he is bitter about the RG-3 situation. Lets face it. Griff was the number two pick, and he was the roy. He has to understand that you do not just give up on that after year one?
I think Kirk certainly plays with a chip on his shoulder, but that is a good thing.

I think they will use the non-exclusive or transition tag on him. That will cost less and is someone takes him we get two first round picks.

I want to hear more about this option.

No. They'll use the exclusive Franchise tag and nothing else. The reason being is another team could devise a contract with a poison pill that we wouldn't be able to match if we wanted to. While I'm reserved about handing Kirk a shit ton of cash, I think it would be even more foolish to let him walk for two first rounders. Very foolish. Do you know how bad this team would have been if not for the QB play?

No you don't because it's not an option.

I'm not saying he's bitter about the RG3 situation. However, once it was shown that Robert couldn't play so well, it was lil Danny that made Gruden start RG3 instead of having competition. (which is what Kirk wanted) Dan and Bruce have been very hesitant about Cousins, and he was nearly traded due to their hesitation. I think even SS has mention that Snyder wasn't a big fan of Cousins, which is probably why Cousins wants to stick it to him when it comes to this contract. Some guys want to play here, but it's obvious to Kirk that he doesn't give a shit, and has made it about the money and respect at this point. Danny and Bruce still aren't sold on him.
