I'm sure it's about the money, at least in part. I can't get mad at a guy for getting as much as he can, while he can. I'm sure I would do the same damn thing if I could.

What was he locked in at last year and then this year and the team has said they would do it next year that is what almost 32/34 million?just saying that is a hell of a lot of money .

What is the contingency plan IF Kirk leaves next year?
Colt McCoy?

Not having another QB in the pipeline has been my gripe for awhile now.

Every franchise, especially WCO, should always have developmental QBs in the que especially since they've been doing this dance with Kirk for 2 seasons now.

IF Kirk is playing elsewhere and there isn't a viable QB under center then heads should roll.

They just drafted Sudfeld. If they arent confident he can start by 2018, drafting another QB next year.

Scot McCloughan's wife takes not-so-subtle shot at Redskins

Seems to me like Allen is hoping for a team to suffer a QB injury and then try to trade KC similar to the Bridgewater deal last year. KC is gone, they fucked up.

I don't know why anybody would blame Kirk Cousins for doing what he's doing. Have a great year, collect your money, and go to a team next year that conducts itself like a professional organization. This is all a reflection of bad ownership. Unfortunately, there is absolutely no way to fire the owner. The only way to get rid of Snyder is to not go to home games, don't purchase Redskins stuff, and do a complete boycott. I appreciate his efforts toward keeping the name, but other than that, like MTK said, this is bush league.

Saturday, 5 years, $25M per, $75M guaranteed.

The reason Cousins comes out and says "if I base my life around money then shame on me" is because he's publicly preparing to save face by not taking every penny his leverage dictates he could.

As long as the 'Skins come with something reasonable, that recognizes the short supply of QBs in the NFL, he'll sign.

Listening to Andrew Brandt yesterday he thinks a deal will get done and it won't be the crazy expensive deal some are expecting it to be.

Andrew Brandt is very knowledgeable in this area and I trust his insight better than most sports news folks, given his background/experience.

I think it will take 25M per, I just dont see the Skins offering it. I like the optimism though.

Rappaport says both Skins FO and Kirk are on board with him playing out the tag. If true, we better draft a QB in '18.

He said the same thing in April.
When he said Cousins will be traded before the draft.

True, I forgot about that! Plus it is
NFL.com. I just hope that the deal is somewhat cap friendly or we will be always replacing quality guys.

He won't sign a long term deal with the Redskins, this year or next year. He's doing just fine on these one year deals, and has more to gain if he plays the season out on the FT, and then play the game again next year. I'm not real sure his current or past comments really matter; his nature is to be positive and not rock the boat. And everyone else outside of Cousins, his Agent, and the FO who are commenting on the situation is just guessing. It's not getting done, and if I were him, I'd be completely fine with that.
