OMG, that hurt my head!

listened to our Local Skins reporter from the paper and he firmly believes Scott and Bruce are at too much at odds for a long term deal to get done and the most likely outcome will be a deal with San Fran. That it makes zero sense for the Skins just to let Cousins play for a year then walk.

So here is thought say you make a deal with SF then sign Romo for the short term and then find your next QB. I prefer to keep KC but that Romom plan isn't the craziest idea ever.

My preference is too sign Cousin long term...but if not, my ideal situation would be trade Cousins to SF for their 1st and 2nd round picks. Call New England and then move #17 for Jimmy G.

Get him locked up if at all possible. If you absolutely can't, tag him and see if anyone will bite on a trade. Tagging without trading means he'll walk in '18 and we'll only get what, maybe a 3rd round pick as compensation?

If he's tagged this year he will definitely hold all the cards next year. Now not so much.

But follow that further back. If Kirk/McCartney decide not to negotiate a long term deal, the Skins "have" to tag him

Right, therefore he doesn't have much control over where he plays this year. Next year he moves into the drivers seat.

I think we disagree on what Kirk wants? Imo if they offer him what he's looking for in a long term deal, he'll say great, they want me here and they're paying me enough, and he'll sign. But if they tag him, he'll gladly take 24 million guaranteed, which is probably more than what he'd get in the first year of a long term deal anyway, and start thinking about how much he'll get next year in the open market. In my mind he's fine with either scenario

I honestly think the wait is more for dramatic effect than anything else. I have a feeling if the 'skins truly want Cousins here, they're going to sign him to a long term contract. If there's any doubt, they'll sign him to the non-exclusive tag which means they're going to either retain his services for one more year, or they're going to get something for him if he leaves. The reports from Jason Reid about Cousins not wanting to be here is probably just bogus info to try and sabotage any upper hand the team might have in negotiation. Probably came from either Cousins' agent (without Cousins' consent) or the janitor.

Little Danny fingers are all over this. It must be Scott & Jay vs Party Organizer and Mr. Ohare

It seems to me that we have differing definitions of what "in the drivers seat" means. When I speak of Kirk being in the drivers seat, I'm talking solely about how much money Kirk can demand and get, one way or another, now or in the future. It looks like the worst case for Kirk in 2017 is $19M fully guaranteed on a non-exclusive tag contract with the Redskins. That would mean that Kirk will have been paid $39M over two years, fully guaranteed, and then be a Free Agent once again at the end of the 2017 season. If I could get that, I wouldn't care if had to play in North Korea.

If the Redskins are concerned about paying a big guarantee for Kirk, well, they've already done it unless they sign him long term, trade, or cut him. In short, the Redskins have already lost the deal. Kirk is not only in the driver's seat; he's already arrived at the destination where he'll get another big pay day.
