Cousins 3.0, he's going to sign the franchise tag

[mooby]

I think the Carr deal means Kirk's going to have to be at or near that number, which hurts us as I was hoping to keep him in the 23-25 aav range.

The Carr deal is done.

Matthew Staffords camp was waiting on the Carr deal to get done too. Whatever Carr gets, Stafford is expected to get more. KC might wait to see what Stafford gets......this is not over

Stafford's deal should definitely exceed Carr's, but Kirk isn't going to get more than Stafford, no way.

Agreed. Not what I meant. Was just wondering if KC would look for something in between the Carr and Stafford deals....

I don't think Kirk deserves more than Carr, I'd say something just below his deal.

Kirk isn't going to get more than Carr, but a very comparable contract is very likely. If anything this Carr deal helps pave the way for Kirk's deal.

That is the key number. I don't expect Kirk to accept any less than that.

Yeah he(Kirk) played the entire season, but is he worth it? If Carr doesn't get hurt the Raiders were playoff bound. Kirk kept us out of the playoffs. I want Kirk signed, but I do understand the apprehension in the FO.

If the Redskins don't get a deal done now then it will never happen. They should offer KC the same contract that Carr got. It ain't that damn difficult.

to be honest, they really already screwed this up by the god aweful lowball offer. Now if they don't get a deal it would a fuckin disaster and Bruce should go.

That's my line in the sand. Bruce goes if we don't get a deal done.

And to be honest, our salary cap is in pretty good shape, even though I do worry a lil bit about all the one year deals we are on for this upcoming season.

Bruce is just the mouthpiece for Snyder. Since Snyder has been the majority owner of the Redskins, when did he not close a deal that he wanted to close? This is all Snyder. If he wants to get a deal done with Cousins, it gets done. He gave low character ass Fat Albert 40 million and didn't blink doing it.

Deadline is July 17th and not the 15th. 2 more possible days of torture.

I doubt Cousins accepts a penny less than what Carr got. Carr is better and younger but it won't matter. Cousins has all the leverage.

[Alvin Walton]

I hope the league is getting a full grasp of this because the salary cap needs to keep going up.
I realize they have been nudging it for a few years now but Holy Fuckballs Batman!
