He probably signed a non-disclosure agreement when he was hired.

If we don't get a long term with cousins and he walks next year...worse than the rg3 trade.

Because we would have a proven qb and still couldn't retain him. And then we had a opportunity to get something for him through a trade but because dan Snyder is a bitch bc 49er coach is a shanny, we chose to not to move him...

Trade his ass to Cleveland for a 1st and 2nd this year or next year.

I think we should def use this as leverage to get a deal done. Also many folks reported 3 teams called about Cousins....this is nothing but good news.

Agreed. For all the reporting and columns written about how Cousins has all of this leverage (and he still does, don't get me wrong), what was assumed is that the only trade partner the Redskins had was San Francisco. Therefore, even if they wanted to trade him, San Fran would dictate trade compensation. But seeing how other teams (even though they are nameless right now) have been rumored to be in the mix, and Cleveland being named (although I think it's merely a rumor to force Cousins' hand), I think we're starting to see some leverage go toward the Redskins.

[metalskins]

The Browns are not going to have a chance to get Cousins. Not unless they were willing to give up a king's ransom, and even I don't believe the Browns would do that. That said, I have no doubt that these "rumors" were leaked in order to make Cousins a little nervous that he could be shipped off to Cleveland, in order to force his hand a little quicker with the negotiations. That said, Cousins has pretty much said that the tag dictates how his agent is going to negotiate, so if the Redskins would just simply offer close to that number, I think Cousins signs. Why wait until July 14th? Just get it done now so that this is no longer a distraction.

Way too many chicken littles around here. But even if it's taken you this long to come around, it's still better late than never.

What I meant about changing my mind about Kirk, was that I thought he had this attitude that he wanted to leave the team because he did not feel wanted and whatnot.

It sounds like this "wanting to leave" may have been overblown or it may have been a negotiation tactic from his camp. Who knows, but it looks like things are somewhat normal and they are just doing the typical negotiations.

In the end, I don't see what's so terrible about the team moving forward. I feel that with some of the acquisitions we've gotten and getting Kirk back under center, I expect us to be competitive again in the upcoming season.

There are some players in the league who are adamant about not wanting to play for certain teams. There's nothing to stop Cousins from saying he doesn't want to play for Washington. I don't think him stating such would hinder his leverage. The fact that he came out and denied that he demanded a trade and still spoke favorable with his relationship with the Redskins tells me that he just wants a long term contract. If it's the Redskins, fine, if it's the 49ers, fine. If it's the Browns......damn!!!! LOL!

I believe that as long as we keep Kirk (I do think he will sign a long term deal, especially after hearing his interview with Schefter) we are a better team today than we were at the end of the season.

Pryor and Doctson > Jackson and Garcon (especially for the money)
Baker was not that big of a loss, he was a lot of fun and my favorite player but he was overrated by our fan base

but it better get done period. After this bullshit with McC, I better not hear any fucking excuses from Bruce. Get it done period

We don't need to extend the QB track record with Bruce/Danny anymore. Lets end it with a good deal for Cousins.

My general feeling right now is it does get done. Im 60-40....60% he signs, 30 he is traded, 10% he plays on it without signing


Where is everybody right percentage wise?

You're way off.

75% signed long term
20% plays under this franchise tag and is tagged again next year
4% plays under this franchise tag and is allowed to hit the open market
1% traded

Nobody has said.

[Schneed10]

Three teams have asked and three teams have been rebuffed. He's not getting traded.
