As far as Kirk not wanting to be here I don’t know about that. I think he just wants to feel wanted and he hasn’t felt that yet. AKA show him the $$. I don’t even think he cares about being the highest paid, he just wants an offer in the ballpark.

I always wondered this: do you think he gets pressure from other players/QBs to take the most possible so the price keeps rising? He's a stand-up guy, so I don't see that effecting him, but I do wonder if it's a factor.

I think that sort of pressure may come more from the agent side of things. And ultimately what he does isn’t going to throw off the entire market so I think any pressure of that type is minimal.

That's how I see it. It's Jay being Jay.

As far as Kirk goes, I can't help but think of some other destinations that look nicer than DC. I'd maybe take a ski trip out to Colorado and explore a few options if I were him.

You should have seen the Bronco's fan message boards light up about going after KC after the win against Denver.

The signing to watch is the one for Jimmy G. In SF, I believe he will be signed and not franchised. They are talking Stafford money, in the 8 games he has played, I believe he won all of them, his accuracy, release and decision making are Brady like and the 49ers had 21 players on IR (one more then the Redskins).

[sdskinsfan2001]

I'm getting to the point that any of the 2 options are fine with me. I really just want it over with:

1. Sign his ass to a long term deal (49%)

2. Trade or let his ass walk and draft rookie (51%)

As long as its not a another 1 year tag situation. For all things good in the world, please don't do this to us again.

From Adam S. " Denver and Washington appear to be the main players in the KC race" He also said Denver is willing to pay BIG money.

I keep seeing a reference to something Cooley heard behind closed doors or a theory of his based on Jay's comments. Could someone enlighten me as to this, I can't find it anywhere.

I think that's an incorrect interpretation. The coach DOES have input into decision making and long term planning, but it's not entirely up to him (like with most teams in the NFL) and it's the front office that handles the negotiations, not the coach (like with most teams in the NFL).

It's entirely incorrect to say the coach has no say as to who plays QB for him.

When Gruden says "He needs to know", it could be taken as just a matter of planning next season, Gruden needs to have this situation resolved....

But given Snyder and recently Allen's disgraceful history, I don't think they deserve the benefit of a doubt now. Like with Shanahan, Zorn, Gibbs "handling" things, Schottenheimer, etc....

Thanks for the info, guys. Unfreakingbelievable.

Don't overreact to incorrect interpretations. Just listen to what Cooley said.

Skins fan in OK should take that instragram thing down. We don't even know who wrote that. Could be his fucking cousin.

I believe you, but what in Snyder's history suggests anything but the worst case scenario here: that Gruden is out of the loop here. Where in a normal competent organization, wouldn't the HC be more informed?

You don't seem to recall when McCloughan was canned last year, Gruden was brought into pre-draft interviews at the combine because his opinion was valued.

I don't think he's cut out of the process. And just because he didn't tell Cooley doesn't mean he's not kept in the loop.
