Kirk Cousins 365 thread

[Schneed10]

I came here to point this out:

“Eric Schaffer, who’s a great guy and works hard for the Redskins, and I are going to get together this week,” McCartney told Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller on SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday, just a few hours after the Redskins announced that they had placed the exclusive franchise tag on Cousins.

Note, that's Shaffer he's meeting with, our cap and contracts guy. He's not meeting with Allen. Why is that key?

Shaffer is authorized to negotiate $ terms on behalf of the Redskins, but he's not authorized to discuss trade compensation terms, that falls to Allen.

This meeting is to discuss $ figures. They may still leave the meeting with a major bridge to gap, but it needs to be noted this is a negotiation in earnest.
