Kirk Cousins 24/7 thread

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....

In response to your post:

Paragraph 1 - Wrong. The market rate for QB's goes up every year. $20MM will not be Top Dollar in 2017. It's going to be the price for a Top 16 QB, which I can hardly believe myself. The Skins will pay. Also, the important number will be the amount of guaranteed money.

Paragraph 2 - Correct. No ridiculous Franchise money in 2017.

Paragraph 3 - Wrong. I don't know who the sources are in Redskins Park (if any) the press is referring to but Scot has already said they would pay Kirk if he has a good season in 2016. I cannot believe that anyone above Scot would overrule him on this matter.

What articles? I find it increasingly hard to believe that there could be any truth to such things.

I'm still of the opinion that if the season ended today KC would get a 6 year deal worth 22 mil avg per year ballpark 80 mil guaranteed. If his rz game gets on track it could go to 24 and 100.

Question: are our only two options franchise tag or deal? Could we make him a restricted FA?

Anyone who thinks we're going to get some sort of discount for KC is seriously delusional. He's in the driver's seat to demand franchise money and he's going to get it.

If the season ended today there is no way he makes less than 20 million. That's his current floor.

I'm still on the fence on a long term contract but I'm at like 70-30 for at this point. I was under 50% earlier in the season.

You've been one of the ones who's been most critical of KC. At this point why would you be on the fence?

Things like that goal line pass today that should've been picked but the 2 guys ran into each other. That was a huge break, no way he should've thrown that. There's literally no reason he threw that. He has similarities to Griffin in that regards, there are worse things than a sack, such as bad interceptions. Don't turn a bad play into a horrific play. That's my biggest knock on him.

But gun to my head, I'd say pay him as of today.

Dude is money and will be our QB for the next 8 years.

I guess Mike Jones is the end all source when it comes to what's going on in McCloughan's head.

Definitely had nothing to do with him saying his best estimated guess, and going on every radio show on the Bye week a few days before he released an article to pump it up.

Being a Redskins fan. We should not be so oblivious to how the media works now.

This stupid crap? Worst article ever. Except the part where he says this is not based on inside information just his own "educated" guess. What a dumb ass.

Agree:

FOOTBALL OUTSIDERS: Innovative Statistics, Intelligent Analysis | QUARTERBACKS 2016

On the Cooley's show on 980, Kevin called into a Wisconsin radio station where callers were being polled on Rodgers v Cousins. 90% said they would take Cousins over Rodgers.

Two huge take aways from this:

1. People in Wisconsin are stupid.

2. Cousins is viewed much better outside DC than he is here. (Not my original idea, but I agree totally.)
