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

Id like this to be resolved in the next couple months, either give him the deal or trade him.

I think the team wants to give him a deal, but if he doesn't want to be here that's a problem he is creating.

I don't mind Bruce asking for a steep price for Cousins, his (KC) attitude and desire to go to SF would be costing the franchise a lot and the team would need a lot of draft ammo to rebuild.

Now that he's signed the tag he can be traded. Maybe that was the plan. Obviously no love lost between Kirk and Allen. Read somewhere Scott wanted him signed last year, Allen didnt.

Can't make this shit up. SMH.

They need to wipe the egg off their faces and trade him while they can still get something for him.

Cousins is set make $23.94 million under the franchise tag in 2017 if no long term deal is signed by mid July. If Cousins refuses to play (unlikely), the tag would roll over to 2018 and 2017 would not count as a tag year. Cousins has to play for Skins in 2017 since he signed the franchise tag today. The Skins could use the transition tag in 2018 which would be a 20% increase to 2017 or $28.78 million. The transition tag would allow Cousins to get offers from other teams but the Skins can match any deal and Cousins would have to sign it regardless. If he plays under the transition tag, he would be a free agent in 2019 as the Skins are unable to tag him the 4th time under the CBA. I am fully aware of his disdain for Allen/Snyder but minus the cap ramifications the Skins do have control the next 2 years although Cousins has the leverage financially. The caveat here is that if the Skins don't match offers in 2018 under the transition tag, they would receive no compensation for losing him. This is not an ideal situation but having Cousins under control for 2 years and no future cap hits is not as bad as it seems especially if the cap continues to increase annually.

According to this article he can still be traded.

Report: Kirk Cousins signs franchise tag, can now be traded

[The Whale 13]

Agreed. He can be traded once he signs the franchise tag. My argument was based on the report Snyder told him not to get his hopes up regarding a trade and the Skins have no intention of ever trading him.

Good post, Whale. I was wrong about the transition tag. I thought we got compensation (outside compensatory picks) for the transition tag. I think this situation gets really interesting if KC gets hurt this season...

He needs a few typos and made up words to really fit in.

As smart as this sounds, SF will be able to structure a deal that we will not be able to match. They will have considerably more cap space than us. What we can do is franchise him again at 34 million. My opinion is that if he performs well, they will do it. To all those that think we should trade him, for what ever we can get, if we just let him go, in 2019, we will get a third round compensatory pick. Screw it, we can win a Superbowl by then.

I've put up with a lot more crap from an employer than he has for a lot less than $24M per year. Kirk can shut up, grow, up, and nut up. Maybe buy himself a Bentley to help take away the pain. I'm about to start calling him Kim, as in Kim Kardashian.

Ricky Jean on the radio today basically backed up Cousins and in a nut shell said the Redskins are a mess. RJ is a respected guy and a stand up solid guy, not a disgruntled employee. That says a lot...

Lends credence to the idea that this organization is a freakin' circus. Why in the world would anyone (player, coach, GM, ball boy) ever want to be a part of this crap? The entirety of the rest of the NFL is either laughing their asses off, or shaking their heads in disbelief at the shenanigans going on here.

Well Jay Gruden just got an extension for two years, so he seems to be okay here.

The NFL is shaking her head at us, they are laughing at Houston for having to give up a 2nd round pick to get rid of the QB they gave $37 million dollars last year.

Well at least Houston has a defense and won a playoff game. They might have been wrong on Osweiler, but they aren't the shit show that this is...
