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.
