I mean this is not Madden, unless you have a Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodger (the real one not his twin brother playing for him this year) caliber guy, you don't just change QB and yyypppeee your team is better. It takes time for the new guy to get in rhythm with his teammates, for his teammates to get in rhythm with him, and for both sides to trust the other.

Cap won't be an issue, and I definitely agree that starting over at the most important position would be beyond silly and unnecessary.

I was listening to Cooley and Kevin halfway mark show, and they agreed that the team should sign KC to a long term deal asap, because the more they wait the more they will have to pay. I was thinking the team might want to wait until the end of season, as a way to keep KC under pressure... But they got a point saying the more they wait the more they'll have to pay, don't they?

You wait til the season is over to ensure he doesn't bomb the tough second half or have a catastrophic injury. IMO its better to wait with QB.

Way the season is going in Atlanta, Lil Shanny is gonna be a top coaching candidate. I think it was Keim or Mike Jones the other day said this....If we let Cousins hit free agency then he gonna go where Kyle is period.

Pretty sure under the tag he has to play out the season, they can't negotiate a new deal until the offseason.

Correct. Can't begin negotiating until after the Super Bowl.

On next year's cap, currently it looks like $47M in space and highly likely to create more by releasing DeAngelo Hall and Kory Lichtensteiger which would create another $7.7M in space.

We could afford to franchise Cousins again at $24M and still have $30M to play with. Cap is not a constraint.

Man, hope we do something at DT in the draft. Slim pickings in FA: http://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/defensive-line/

Really think that after the bye, hope that they the team can return to their winning ways.

$20MM per year sounds about right for the market. It is an absurd amount of money to pay anyone to do anything but that's the rate for legitimate NFL starting QB's these days.

And, since other teams are going to offer Kirk guaranteed money at 20 million a year, he is going to sign there.

Some here say we will franchise Kirk again next year, which means right now i think we would pay him around 34 million for one season, but i don't see them going that direction.

My hope is that Cousins is re-signed here, but that is a slim hope that kind of diminishes each day that more news articles come out talking about how the mentality within Redskins park is that he will not be re-signed....
