Gruden would be cutting his own throat if he were to let KC go without a full out war. He basically hitched his cart to KC during the first preseason.

SM, he's not really tied to KC 100%, but I am pretty sure they both put their reputations out there to get RG3 gone.

And at this point everything said has been that BA and DS are out of the player picking carousel (as much as the money man and owner ever are).


The ONLY point I've heard made for them letting him walk is that (other than DS) none of our FO has ever spent the kind of money that will be needed before. There is a first time for everything.

Yes, Cooley said as much - we do not have anyone on staff currently that has ever been part of a redskins team that has had to deal with a QB number this high. But like John Lynch said - right or wrong that's the going rate for a franchise QB

I feel a little better about things after hearing BA and JG come out and say positive things about KC. Just still confused why they're not negotiating. The season has been over with for weeks and so far nothing. That makes no sense to me.

Preeeetty sure they can't negotiate until after the Super Bowl.

That's not true according to that ESPN Article on Cousins, called "Kirk Cousins has millions of reasons not to fear the franchise tag". They said that the skins have been free to re-negotiate with Cousins since the minute the regular season ended

Keim said that and there is no doubt he is one of the best, but I always remember the season ends after the Superbowl. Either way it likely will be around the deadline to tag him before a deal is done.

Because the only source I could find is an uncredible SB Nation article that says they can start negotiating after Jan 1st 2017 I will take your word for it.

But...

Counterpoint: How do you know they haven't been negotiating for a month already? I know it's hard but in this day and age it is possible to conduct negotiations in secret. Maybe they already came to a deal and are waiting until after the Super Bowl to announce it.
