Cousins Saga 4.0. Is he done in DC?

But I do feel like this is not a sign of Jay knowing anything promising about the Skins being ready to make a push to sign Kirk.

Maybe I'm reading too much though, let's hope so.

But "Kirk is a very good QB, it's been a tough season and we've seen what he's capable of with a lot of injuries around him and not a lot of help from the running game. He's had some ups and downs but overall I think he's had a solid year" would have also been an honest assessment of his performance...

Yeah you're reading too much into it. Jay doesn't get to make the decision, Bruce does.

Jay has already told Bruce that he likes Cousins. Doesn't mean Bruce is going to make a $30M offer.

Bruce isn't making this decision, Snyder is.

But has a HC doesn't he get to know a little bit of what's the plan?
(Legit question, not a rethorical one).

Again, hope I'm wrong but this was just the start of me stopping to fight so hard to keep faith.

Jay gets to have input, but this decision is up to Snyder, as Irish aptly points out.

From the comments coming from Cooley, it's clear that Jay wants to get things settled from a long term planning standpoint. I bet Snyder and Allen do too, honestly. Who wouldn't. But it's not Jay's call.

Yeah I think this has been pretty clear for a while now.

For those who prefers the whole segment over incorrect interpretation:

The segment where they comment Jay's comments starts at 26min10sec of the first link, end of the segment at the beginning of the second link.

Yes it's typical Jay to have this un-emphatic, hesitating tone...

But they both do think it sounds like Jay "likes" Kirk but doesn't "love" Kirk.

Gruden says that Cousins is a very, very, good quarterback, which is the truth. That's the dilemma. He is a very, very, good quarterback. But, he's not good enough to demand $30M/yr. I know the market dictates the worth. But the Redskins are supposed to be building a complete, Super Bowl team, not sacrificing. So, the question is, can they sign Kirk Cousins and not sacrifice anything?

And the answer to that is NO, which BA and DS both know they cant pay Kirk 30M and have a team around him to compete for a SB next yr or maybe even the next few years. Look at Det and Indy, both teams are EH, ok teams but wont be able to sign any big help in the OS. The Saints have already basically said they cant give DB a raise due to their cap structure.

So you either roll the dice on 30M and avg players around Kirk, mainly on Offense (like this yr), and hope draft picks become stars.

Or you let him go elsewhere, get what u can for him if possible and roll with a cheaper option (Alex Smith, Baker Mayfield, etc.)


Heck the Packers cant even field a solid Defense through F/A and that is with AROD making 22M a yr.
