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

Even if he plays like he has the last 2 years, his value as a 30 year old would stay in the 24M per range.

Agreed, assuming no deal, next year his position levels out with no FT numbers past next year. He likely will remain a top 11 qb, and will be paid by some team - maybe us - like where his value is at. (imo) Right now he wants to be paid long term at a point way above where his real value is.

1st team to ever franchise a QB twice. % of that being surprising. 0%!!

The clown car continues on down the road.

I'll take our situation right now over many teams in the league.

I'm not even mad about this as a stand alone event, but its just part of the overall accumulative clusterfuck that always seems to float over this franchise.

So Cousins was given an offer similar to Derek Carr?

Redskins president Bruce Allen's statement to the media regarding QB Kirk Cousins:

Granted this is coming from the team, but I like that they talk about guaranteed money (which matters).

And there you go. And offer was made and apparently not accepted.

It's really really hard to trust Bruce Allen, but if he made this offer and KC declined. It very well means that KC doesn't want to be in DC and he has no plans to negotiate with the team in 2018. Fuck that guy.

Which makes sense, if he (Cousins) is willing to gamble on playing for the tag and 24 mil guaranteed, instead of 53 mil guaranteed (and 72 mil guaranteed for injury).

What will really suck, is if he goes off this year and we make a run in the playoffs, I know probably won't happen, BUT if he does....and he really don't want to be here then that will be like a slap in the face....

At this point, he is just cashing checks. Doesnt sound like he gives a shit about our team. I'd rather go 8-8 with Colt save all that money and draft a qb next year.

???? What money is being saved? Kirk is already guaranteed the $25M this coming year.

From Andrew Brandt:

Deal offered by @Redskins added 5 years (6 total) with $29M more guaranteed than $24M scheduled. So $1M more than Transition Tag next year.

Skins - good job putting the statement out there to try and get ahead of the PR. Bruce's statement of "at least the second highest paid player by average by year in NFL history" means his avg per year was in the 24M range.

Carr - 25M; Luck 24.5; Palmer 24.3; Brees 24.2 (2017 salaries).

Cousins - I think you played yourself. Hard to say to a guy making guaranteed 23.9M this year but one bad injury and youre done. One down year .... a team might still give you big money.

Im a big Cousins fan .... but this doesnt look good for him, if the skins offered what they say they offered.

[NC_Skins]

Fuck Kirk Cousins. They should have just traded his ass. Better yet, just tag him again just to piss him off.

That offer was more than acceptable.
