Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag

[KI Skins Fan]

I have no idea what they are trying to accomplish in regard to Kirk's contract. It's as if the Skins slipped off the river bank and fell in the river up to their necks and then decided to walk toward the middle of the river to see if it got any shallower out there.

SF says they are "open for business" to trade the second pick in the draft. We should petition the Skins management to put us out of our misery by trading Kirk to SF in a deal that includes the #2 pick. They are already dangerously close to losing Kirk after next season anyway.

I seem to remember plenty of people being ok with tagging him last year.

YeAh but Matty the second one is definitely different. Especially after we were backing up the briggs truck to his door step during the season. I hope to hell they reach a long term deal but my gut tells me he is gone after this year. Fuck u gut. Lol

I'm not talking about the 2nd one. Just talking about the second guessing of the first one.

Be careful; if you're having mind melds with Danny or Smithers you're liable to end up losing football I.Q. points.

Team president Bruce Allen said the Redskins would be willing to place the franchise tag on Kirk Cousins next offseason.

"Yes," Allen said when asked directly about tagging Cousins for the third year in a row. "In the collective bargaining agreement, we really have one year and an option that we can do at the end of next season if we don’t get a contract." Tagging a player three years in a row is intentionally cost prohibitive, and Cousins would be due $34 million if Washington tags him again next spring. The Redskins have other options, however, including the transition tag ($28 million) and non-exclusive franchise tag which would both offer the right of first refusal if Cousins signs an offer sheet somewhere else. Of course, all of this madness could be avoided if Washington matches Cousins' contract demands by the July 15 deadline, but that is unlikely at this point

I don't see why everybody thinks it's more unlikely know than a few weeks ago.

I would say it's more likely now than before the draft: they didn't draft a QB, they didn't trade him like a lot of people expected...
Not matching his offer would be crazy, they just HAVE to!

Even Cooley and Kevin seem to have lost hope of a LTD before the deadline, I don't get why.

Even Bruce saying they are ready to tag him a third time (which make them sound delusional) could really well be the Redskins trying to get some kind of leverage in the negotiation...

Looking at the Von Miller situation from last year, it seems that none of these deals are ever done well before the deadline.

As Andrew Brandt puts it, deadlines spur action.

I honestly feel that a deal will get done, but it will be at the 11th hour. If they have to tag him again next year, so be it.

That's my feeling too... Lots of money involved, each part's trying to use every bit of time they can to get what they can get...

Sigh... can someone over in Ashburn ban Bruce from talking? The more he talks the stupider he sounds. He can't even get his starting QB's name right.

[SolidSnake84]

My money says he gets tagged next year and then gets HUGE QB Money in 2019 to play somewhere else....
