I agree with MTK that Gruden should want Cousins back but you never know.

But you’re against Cousins I thought, didn’t you used to say he wasn’t worth it, that he wouldn’t win 6 games this year

Well they won 7 games..my bad, I am not so much against Cousins as Against what they will have to pay to get him and how that will effect the rest of team signings. At times we all have had mixed feelings on this team from coach to QB to Owner and Front office. If any of us knew who would replace Kirk if he left then it would be much easier to decide. Seems Smith,Bridgewater, are names I hear and throw in Colt and we could always draft a QB. not sure any of that would come close to replacing Cousins..but I am wrong about this team a lot.

I'd offer Cousins a contract this week then give him to end of January to take it. If not...well bye...and we start planning out FA and draft knowing we need to pickup 1/2 qbs. That way its on him, and the team can say we made an offer and he wanted to take his chances somewhere else.

Waiting till March is going to suck. I feel like that time can be better spent by the team.

This is how I feel and that's why he's holding the Redskins hostage. Suppose they want to try and sign Jarvis Landry or other wr's? He's obviously going to want to know who the QB is going to be. Put a contract in front of him that's fair and give him until March 1st. No signature by then it's off the table.

This- Exactly. 30 mil + is a lot to hold in flux for your FA plans.

Here is a link with important dates:

https://www.thephinsider.com/2018/1/...-season-week-1

https://operations.nfl.com/football-...ant-nfl-dates/

The nfl.com link doesn't have s separate date for franchise tagged players so not sure if that date was left off or if it means we can resign Cousins now.

If its now the offer should be on the table immediately. Otherwise legal tampering begins on March 12th, deadline to tag is March 6th. We should have an offer on the table no later than February 20th (1st day to tag) and give him till like March 5th to sign. If no signature we let him leave.

They won 7 games because of KC lol, if we had Colt we would have gone 3-13. Kirk sucked it up a couple games I admit but overall he played very good. The money issue is what it is, if you want nice things you pay more for them right? It's all about the market. Like a new house or car.. I want Kirk back and hope he stays. Either way I don't disagree with fans that want a new QB (Not some bum backup though). I just hope it ends sooner than later
