I still think this tag and trade talk is a pipe dream. I would absolutely love to be wrong, and love to get something for him. I do not see it happening because I simply don't think the market is there for a tag and trade (for a number of reasons).

I think the reason Cousins wants out is probably a combination of everything. The F/O has had their issues, surely, but I think there is also merit to him wanting to choose his own destiny. He wants to find his own path, and likely wants to move on.

We will find out soon enough, and thankfully will be able to focus our attention elsewhere (although I shudder to imagine the obsessive comparative threads with Cousins vs. his replacement. It will be hell).

Classy statement by Kirk. Even after being tagged twice and still being low-balled by Allen and Snyder, Cousins stays positive.

The Skins FO made a business decision to go low on negotiating with Cousins and agent. After they rebuffed Kirk's offer of $20 mil per year (which sure looks cheap now), they have only themselves to blame for the current situation. Cousins bet on himself, and won.

What bugs me the most about who succeeds Kirk here: Say he does as well as Cousins. Will the FO learn from it's mistakes now? Will the FO actually try to keep a QB we draft and develop here, when the rookie contract is over? And give our coaches the chance to build around him, signing the QB to a LTD? Or will it be the same crap as this current situation all over again?
