It's sad, London is less than 2 years older than me, but I think of him as a grandpa. The NFL is a strange beast.

I thought it was pointless to keep Rex on the roster after he was dropped to 3rd string, until I found out how valuable he's been to the two rookies. He's mentored them all season dealing with on and off field matters. He's an incredible teammate and RG3 especially has depended on him a lot.

Dan Snyder. Won't let Kyle go anywhere, he'll get paid like a HC or as much as his old man.

Kyle going somewhere isn't out of the realm of possibility, but RG3 is.

Do you think we keep him next year? Give what you've said, I think it's worthwhile.

I hope so, but How long will Kyle want to to be OC when he knows he'd be a better HC than a lot of guys out there?

also, I'm starting to think mike wont want to retire after his contract is up. I man, why wouldnt he want to keep coaching? hes still fairly young. That would put snyder in an awkward position - keep around an older man whos turned your franchise around? or dont resign him and go with the future?

Don't know if it's mentioned but..

Redskins K Kai Forbath made a 44-yard field goal and is 15 of 15, one shy of the NFL record to start a career

I think we'll let him test the market and if nothing's out there we'd be happy to have him back. Not a priority though

That's good news... There wasn't a market for him this year so I don't know why there would be next.

I was aggravated to hear the post-game crew reporting that the Redskins staff had revealed that Cousins was drafted in part because they thought they might be able to turn him around this season for a first round pick, especially given the weakness of this year's draft at the QB position.

Given RGIII's style of play and increased risk for injury, I think it is critical that Redskins keep a quality backup QB, namely Cousins. Hated to hear that the plan may include swapping him for a first round pick this season. I suppose that is why we ultimately root for the uniform rather than specific players because players come and go quickly in this league.

I would just love to see both QB's and Kyle stick with team for a long time. Kyle has become a master play-caller in the NFL!

Not much making sense here.

He's not going anywhere this season, the trade deadline has come and gone.

I think people are getting way ahead of themselves with this Cousins trade speculation. Way ahead.

[Bushead]

I don't think he's going anywhere for another year. You don't flip a QB that fast.

That was idle speculation, nothing more.

And certainly not for a 1st.

Cousins will be back for another year at least.

But if someone is crazy enough to give up a 1st... We'd be nuts not to take that and run.
