Hopefully that is a factor. My prediction is by mid-season, we'll be looking back on this past off season and laughing at all of the stuff that went down, and we'll have our coach for another couple years, our quarterback signed for the next several years, Doctson playing great, maybe another receiver drafted or signed that's playing great, and McCloughan back in business.

If true, KC should get $30 million per season

I have actually heard some good things about Mike Glennon. It was said the only reason why he lost his starting job with the Bucs was because he was being replaced by a #1 draft pick. Still, $14M for Mike Glennon is outrageous!

Talk about inflation, chriist.

A not insignificant factor: a pregnant woman's relationship with her OB. You fathers know what I'm talking about. She's really not going to want to move between now and September.

Most important factor for them? No, but not to be overlooked. There are plenty of reasons why it's clear they want to be in DC.

It seems like it was so long ago that my wife was pregnant (even though it hasn't been that long ago), but I will say, that is something to consider. At the same time, probably nothing that would be the ultimate reason for staying in Washington. Kirk is a multimillionaire, so he can afford to hook her up with the best Ob in the country (or at least state of California) if they were to leave for San Fran.

Just general stability as a new parent, plus having his and her family relatively close

Kirk Cousins seems to be the type of guy who would be cognizant about such details. Maybe it does factor in his decision a bit? I would also think a dollar goes further around areas like NoVA than it would in San Fran.

If glennon gets 15M we are paying Kirk at least 25

Have you seen Glennon's stats ? He has thrown 10 passes in the last two seasons combined.

If Glennon's contract is an indication of QBs value, then KC is worth closer to $30 million. And we have no idea what the Redskins are now offering.... or what he is asking for.

[Alvin Walton]

The rumor mill is showing Glennon goes to the Bears.
So if that means starter money then the Cousins camp is really gonna tune in to those $$$.

Interesting. I still think Kirk Cousins has leverage and knows the team needs him and likely not to win very many games without him unless the defense greatly improves.

Yes, but Cousins also wants a long term deal and not another year of uncertainty. He can go into 2017-2018 season on the tag, but if he has some major injury, he will be out of luck.

well 44Million buys a LOT of luck, but I really don't get it. He's got the guaranteed money equivalent to the top qb's, the team clearly wants him, and he's going to get the best opportunity and price here - once he commits to SF for example, they aren't going to just roll over and give him 30M a year or some crazy number. If this doesn't get done, then as Schneed said, the truth will come out. I mean if the Skins are offering 6yrs 120 or more, and he's not taking it then I don't blame ownership 1 bit.

Good stuff as always from Andrew Brandt. A level headed business assessment of the situation.
