Cousins Saga 4.0. Is he done in DC?

[MTK]

He wouldn’t have been lying though if he said Kirk had a heck of a season given the circumstances.

Agreed.

My feeling is Kirk is gone. Hate it but I'm not seeing any signs of things going in the direction of him staying.

Maybe Jay is doing business out there and doesn't want to give Kirk anymore leverage than he already has.
But he could have been more emphatic about him and still be accurate and fair... And he's HC, not GM.

Same here, why would a HC say "we're 7-9, hard to say he did great" Cmon man, we aren't fooled, the skins dont want to pay KC 30M a year for the next 6 years. Just admit it and move on

I agree.
I like KC and wish he could be our QB of the future but not at $30M per.
But I blame our FO and ownership for us being in this impossible contractual position with Cousins.
We knew 4 to 5 years ago that the salary cap was going up each year by amounts we have never before seen. Yet they did not offer Cousins an agreeable contract and told him to prove himself.

Add now - our Head Coach is publicly spinning the narrative to justify KC's possible departure by bringing up the 7-9 record. That is classless.
Gruden just shut up. You are no prize.

Not as classless as Bruce's statement from last year. But still pretty cheap.

Probably wouldn't have said a word if the skins went 8-8.

Don't know if it's 100% true, but I agree, this is why I've said all along that this game mattered.
Cooley and Kevin where laughing today about how insignificant this game was. I disagree. At least from a PR standpoint, it changes a lot.

Probably won't change the outcome of the negotiation.
But how nice would it have been to be 100% sure there was a legit push to make him sign a LTD ?

Now it already feels like they won't even really try...
