If you believe Bruce, or Doug Williams, or whoever you choose, the offer has been made to Cousins earlier this offseason, and from all we are being told it is the same deal that we knew about, 20 million a year guaranteed, with incentives that could pay him around 22 million a year if all incentives are reached. That is why i still don't believe he will sign for that, unless the Redskins submit a new offer in wake of the Carr / Stafford contract.

I agree with the other posters who stated that if no deal gets done by July 17, then Bruce should go. And what about Cousins allegedly stating earlier in the offseason that he would never sign a LTD here as long as Allen was still around? Have they mended fences?

I believe the right contract offer (from Kirk's perspective) will mend the fence. In all seriousness, if they truly want him around long term, they will make sure he gets the contract he wants. I just hope it happens soon, I'm tired of this soap opera.

40 mil guaranteed... He is guaranteed 24 and 32 for a total of 56 mil the next two years under the franchise tag. That money spread across three years, just in guaranteed cash is not bad at all. Even if we went to 70 mil fully guaranteed (not injury), its the cost to keep a QB these days. do the damn deal and get the talking heads to move onto the next

Saw a Charley Casserly video where he explained how an agent would probably negotiate a long-term deal for a player in Kirk's situation. First of all, the agent would tell Skins Management to forget about the $24M for 2017 because Kirk is already guaranteed that money. Then he would probably offer the Skins an additional 5 years at $23M per year with half of that amount guaranteed. The additional 5 years would therefore add up to $115M with $57.5M guaranteed. If all 6 years are wrapped into the same contract, then the total would be $139M with $81.5M guaranteed. These numbers are staggering, if not ridiculous.

I just sort of feel like this is going to just go on and on and on until Cousins is allowed to test the market.

And inevitably signs with another team, thus making it 25+ years since we have had a franchise qb for the forseeable future. If they don't resign Kirk I want a gd firesale. Burn the bitch down.

However the last minute posturing has been the posture during this entire 'negotiation'.
