Kirk Cousins 365 thread

[SolidSnake84]

The San Fran thing will soon be a done deal. I have been wrong about lots of things that I have said, but I remember well the day that I posted in this thread that Cousins was likely going to be somewhere else this coming season. I might be proven right, and I might be wrong again. But to me, I just saw too many signs and heard too many things indicating that this team wants desperately to move on from Cousins.

In the end, we will never know who was behind the decision to send him off. I suspect it was Snyder, but until Cousins gives his first interview as a 49er or member of whatever team, we may never know.

Cousins is a classy guy and most likely wouldn't say anything bad about his time here, but if he is really frustrated, he may just come out and say something like "I wanted to be here and tried to make it work, but Dan Snyder constantly was telling me how much he wanted me gone", or something like that..

I believe not a god damn thing Bleacher Report says...

If we get rid of Kirk for a switch of first round draft picks, the front office is a bunch of morons. I would think the minimum has to be a first and an early second (even that sounds dumb).

If we give up cousins and our 17th pick to the 49ers; I am seriously becoming a Ravens fan. That is beyond stupid.

Right. Two years ago I moved to Wyoming. I can choose from Broncos and/or Seahawks and get plenty of support here. :-(

Why would we be the ones throwing in a first rounder in addition to Kirk? The minimum asking price should be 2 firsts for KC. That is the worst trade I have ever heard of in all my years. I would be done with this franchise if that happens.

And that part of it is getting legs where it shouldn't. Jeremiah said it could involve the 17th pick, but that doesn't mean the only thing we'd get back is the 2nd overall. It could still mean multiple picks coming our way.

I just think we should slow our roll and wait for this to be corroborated by the plugged-in insider types.

I still don't believe it. It's all the same Jeremiah report that keeps getting picked up and referenced by all of these outlets.

Jeremiah doesn't know. I mean I'm not saying it's not possible, but I'll wait for the Werders, Schefters, JLCs and Rap Sheets to weigh in.

I think Jeremiah is speculating.

Basically the end days for the negotiations prior to applying the tag. Both sides will play to the media a bit, but I would imagine there are at least contract points going back and forth. The deadline for the tag is March 1st. Any news leaks or media reports, other than a done deal obviously, is just one side or the other trying to get pressure on the other.

I just want to hear a leak that says both sides are working together and are intent on making a deal happen. Is that too much to ask?

Probably so. And much like the report that a head coach has the support of the owner days before that same coach is fired, I think a good report would carry a lot of skepticism. Honestly, I think the lack of real news is the best sign that both sides are actually working on it. If it was a dead deal, the Redskins would be signing other players or moving on to other contracts. The fact that they are still working on a structure that gives the Skins cap space and Cousins the deal he wants should be the de facto assumption barring any real news from Redskins Park or KC himself.

I think we are down to two possible scenarios playing out here.

1. Kirk wants out, period, end of story and will sign the franchise tag, play one more year and move on in 2018. No negotiations with other teams - done.

2. Kirk wants to stay, but they are so far apart on negotiations that his agent said screw it...apply the non-exclusive franchise tag and let's prove to the organization what the market is for your services.

Honestly if Kirk is smart he goes with scenario #1. Take your $24mil and sign a long term deal next year with even more guaranteed $$$.

If the Redskins can tag and trade KC to SF I would do it. KC for 2017 #1 #2 #4 and late 2018 picks.Then draft a QB (not with the #2 pick in the first) and rebuild the defense in one year. They would have 12 draft choices, including 8 picks in the first 4 rounds. And 65+ million in cap space

How did that work for the Rams?
