My guess is highest paid player in the NFL at a 27 million per year clip. That's insane

So you’re hammering the FO for signing someone else, who, by all fair accounts should perform as well as KC for a lot less $$$, at least for the next 2-3 years. I know, i like Fuller too, but he’s just not worth the same as a good starting QB.

The die was cast 2 years ago when we told KC to “prove it.” And not many here were clamoring that we should give KC a long term deal at that point, perhaps you were. After that, the FO had zero options, assuming you wanted KC to Continue to play for us. There was absolutely no point at which KC was agreeing to a long term offer. None.

So stop hammering the FO and the Redskins about this and give Kirk credit for playing things just right in a way no one had done before. And Kirk got lucky that we protected him well for both those seasons. Had he gotten hurt this story would have ended differently.
