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

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.

The major incentive the Skins can offer is injury guarantees, and I would not be shocked to see a hefty injury guarantee amount in any deal that gets done.

As crazy as it sounds, it's still too early to guess what will happen. The Skins were never going to show their cards before this weekend. Either the offer will go up this weekend, or all hell breaks loose in fandom on Monday. It's still too early to know.

Songs like "Drop Kick Me, Jesus, Through the Goal Posts of Life" would be very appropriate, IMO.

When I watch the Skins I always listen to Jesus Take the Wheel.

If a deal doesn't get done, our #1 pick next draft better be a QB! Colt isn't a guy to go 16 games, and Sudfeld is a career third stringer at best.

One thing though: we all act as if we're 100% sure KC's gone if they don't sign him before Monday...

But maybe the Skins actually are ready to use the transition tag next year, and match any offer that would be made...

That would be pretty stupid, but they could be considering it a way to be sure they don't overpay him, because the price would be set by other teams...

I say that while being pretty confident a deal will get done, just trying to have a little more moderate view of the situation.

The only stupid thing the Redskins might do that is going too far, even for them, might be letting Kirk go without getting anything in return. They have already screwed up this deal seven ways to Sunday. Whatever else they do by the deadline, if anything, won't surprise me. This has been the kind of cluster **** that only a Dan Snyder led NFL franchise could produce.

I don't blame the Skins FO (yet). I think you can justify each step up until the FT deadline this year. They could have put up a market based offer and maybe KC signs. I do believe that window got effed up based on the SM debacle and once the FT got placed they were stuck into this window. The only bad outcome next year is an offered contract that they can't match for some reason.

I do think up until SMs firing KC was playing the wounded victim and milking the option of the FT. In fact his willingness to play on it is a symptom of how much protection qb's get. If KC thought for a minute he would take a career ending hit he would aign the Skins long term offer in a split second.

I truly believe that if KC had played better down the stretch last year, he'd have a LTD. Yes the Redskins have fucked this up and the blame lies with them IMO. But KC didn't do himself any favors by playing bad against Carolina, and ending the season with a terrible back breaking pick. Oh well, at least we have him for another year. Hopefully he has a monster year.

You know who was bad in both those games ? The whole damn offense! Even Trent Williams wasn't good against the Giants!

Defense sucked (as always last year), but they did made some key stops against the Giants, gave the offense a chance. KC had a bad game, but so did 10 guys around him...

Very legit concern imo...

If Cousins had willed the team into the playoffs again, the deal would be done. I think us not making the playoffs supported higher ups attitudes of this "guy is a .500 QB. And why are we paying him 25 per?"

Good point.
