The FINAL Kirk Cousins Saga thread. 5.0

It was a surprise,” he said. “I was working out here in Minneapolis at my hotel and finished my workout, went over to my phone, had a lot of text messages and saw the news. Certainly hadn’t heard anything. But in this league and my story, I’ve learned that curveballs come all the time.

“I expect to be a free agent come March 14. We’ll see if that plays out, and if it does, it’s a unique opportunity I look forward to. Haven’t had a chance to pick where I’m going to play since 2007 when I chose to go to Michigan State. Looking forward to that opportunity.”


I've never heard someone cry so much about being mistreated yet getting 45M over the last 2 years lol I wish someone treated me like that.

The bottom quote says it all, he wants to pick his place to play and we all knew it wasn't the redskins. I like kirk but glad he's gone

I don't read KC's quotes as whining or complaining -- it seems pretty matter-of-fact to me. And let's be honest, it's pretty shitty that he (and Fuller) found out about all of this not from the team, but through social media.

I wish we had a classier and better managed organization than one which would do that sort of thing. But we don't. KC has done nothing but work hard and do what is asked of him -- it's pretty shabby treatment to not even give him the courtesy of a "hey, fella, we've decided we're going in a different direction" call. Even if KC said he was not going to sign anything until FA began, so what? Bruce Allen -- is your ego so fragile that you can't take it? (I am speaking rhetorically here.) Seriously, this seems like the kind of crap that makes players have second thoughts about whether this is a team that they'd want to be on.

Honestly don’t see anything wrong with what he said or how he’s crying about anything. He’s handled himself with nothing but class in his time here.

I have no major beef either and will always pull for him.

That said, it was painfully obvious he wanted to leave, and so all the sweet talking he does about wanting to still be a Redskin is pretty disingenuous.

But I guess he had to say all the right things in case we ended up being the place he ultimately chose to come back to.

Can't be mad at him. Also, can't blame Bruce Allen for making an aggressive move. You can blame him for not signing Cousins in 2015, but you can't blame him for trading for Smith now.

Time for everybody to pull up their big boy pants and tie their big boy shoes and move on with life. Let's sign some mother f'n free agents! I'm ready for the next episode.

I agree. I am disappointed in this conclusion but I will still be rooting for this team to get better. If Kirk had any interest in staying with us, he wouldn't have declared his intention to wait until March to negotiate. That basically says he favors us no more than any other team. Good luck to him elsewhere. Also, I will take this opportunity to say Bruce's failings with Kirk add to his already long list of failings and reasons why he should be fired. Won't happen but I just want it to be clear where I stand.

You'd think the Redskins might want to pick up the phone and tell Fuller and Cousins what's going on, before they hear it on social media or a text message. But this is what I expect from the Redskins. They do business in a shitty way.
