I say tag him and trade him to a spring league team.

This has turned into that classic Husband/Wife divorce, the whole "I'm gonna fuck u over" type deal. Just let the dude walk man, we have a QB now

Skins would be stupid on many levels if they tag him. He should file a grievance. The point of the tag is to work out a long term deal, the Skins obviously have no intention of that.

They should just come out and say we are not tagging Kirk.

They could argue the tag is there to protect the teams investment in the player. And it gives their trade partner a chance to work out a deal

That would be an admission to violating the franchise tag rules. KC wouldn't need an agent to win that case.

What rule would that be?

They are arguing the spirit of the rule.

I was pretty sure there was a clause about punitive tags, but I couldn't find it. Tagging him though would invite the NFLPA to argue collusion of the teams to restrict his free movement. It wouldn't be a slam dunk but we wouldn't be able to sign Smith for the expected contract with KCs FT amount on our books.

What will Washington do with Kirk Cousins? – ProFootballTalk

Good read. Really outlines all of the fallout if Washington tags Kirk again. Brings up the high chance that it blows up in our face if Cousins waits to sign, and if he signs, the Redskins would likely back out of the Alex Smith trade because of the cap hit.

And we don’t do so well when dealing with the spirit of rules

I could see many owners siding with the Skins on this.

Nope ,you would be wrong.


Question ,why do hate KC so much? The Skins screwed him over by drafting him in the first place after they had already taken RGIII,KC could have been a starter somewhere else already but he did the right thing and waited and was a good team player.Finally he gets the starting nod and does well and creates some stability at a position that the Skins needed desperately and instead of appreciating it they drag out his stay here and show him no appreciation,why would he stay? Pretty much most of your post's are anti KC and I was wondering why?

He got contract offers from the Skins. All he has talked about is getting paid. Even his teammates have said he sent mixed messages.

It is not just Kirk I think the QB market like the old rookie market has gotten crazy.

The NFLPA isn’t going like it, and who knows how long a grievance would drag on. Meanwhile we’re stuck with him counting against the cap. No thanks.
