It's called business.The Redskins refuse to do business with Kirk even after they were fully aware of what he wanted and what it would take to keep him,instead they tag him two years in a row, bad move.Now both will move on. To keep blaming this on Kurt is a joke.

It's not a fair price. They could do so much better than Bortles. They are overpaying for a shitty QB. About as bad as the Bears paying that cash for that scrub last year.

They have a guy who knows their system is reasonable priced given what is going on and allows the Jags to sign players as needed and draft a Qb.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

Yes, cross another team off the list. I think little by little his market is drying up. I think now he might be down to two serious teams in total - Broncos, and New York Jets. If one or both of those teams make a cheaper move at QB, i wonder what happens then. Does it take an injury to get Cousins in there?

Everything that i'm seeing says that Cousins absolutely will not take less than 31 million a season. I wonder if maybe some of the writers are right, that Cousins is pricing himself out basically and that NFL teams aren't going to want to deal with his drama and insistence on playing on one-year contracts. Don't get me wrong I loved Cousins here and was his biggest fan, but i'm starting to feel like there was another side that we didn't see.

Or many chose not to see. Reading some of his interviews about the contracts over the years as well watching him play and reading about practices Kirk has been about himself.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

Definitely ridiculous and way too early to say his market is drying up.

Every team that signs a Qb is one less destination. Kirk is competing against not only other FAs but the draft.

I think that it is down to Jets Broncos and maybe the Vikings.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

I don’t think the Cardinals, Browns, and Bills can be ruled out. At least one of those teams will be in the mix in addition to the Jets, Broncos, and Vikings.

I think the Browns go with Mayfield.

Buffalo and Arizona do not have cap space.

He either gets over paid by a desperate franchise or he gets paid what he is really worth to play for a contender.

Buffalo and Arizona could both clear up room and structure a deal to fit their cap if they really want to.

Re: The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

A couple of interesting articles on Cousins.

A look at what's happening around the*New York Jets:

1. Struggles against top competition:*The Jets' anticipated pursuit of*Kirk Cousins*is a hot-button issue among fans in New York. Should they shell out $30 million a year for the prospective free agent or try to find their quarterback in the draft? Both sides can make compelling arguments, but here's a factoid that might provide some clarity for those on the fence:

During his time with the*Washington Redskins, Cousins' starting record against winning teams is 4-19 (based on their opponents' final record).

Yes, 4-19.

Cousins has cleaned up against losing teams (19-9-1) and has fared OK against .500 clubs (3-2), resulting in an overall record of 26-30-1 in the regular season. He is 0-1 in the playoffs.

http://www.espn.com/blog/new-york-je...ive-jets-pause

nish Mehta of the New York Daily News reports*the Jets are not planning a history-making contract offer that would include $60M in the first year.*This was recently suggested, but Mehta reports the franchise is not prepared to wildly overspend to land the 29-year-old quarterback.

However, sources informed Mehta the Jets would “absolutely love” to add Cousins. But they won’t be radically changing the NFL landscape by offering the passer a fully guaranteed deal.

Don't hate, just don't think he is worth the kind of money he and his agent do. Nor do I believe especially last season he was playing for anything more than stats to try and justify getting paid.
