Does he want to get to free agency because he wants to find a better situation to play in? Or does he want to get to free agency because he really wants to be a Redskin, but wants to drive up his guarantees as much as possible?

That we can't possibly know. It's obvious he wants to get to free agency, but why? We don't know. But it doesn't necessarily mean he wants to leave.

I think all we really know is he wants a LTD.

I think he’s done with this year to year drama.

Where he wants it from is the multi million dollar question.

[MTK]

I’ll venture a guess he doesn’t even know where yet. He just wants to be able to weigh all his options and make the best decision possible.

Per Gruden to Dan Steinberg:

"For the most part, the great quarterbacks are in the same system year in and year out, and are developing in that system.*[Teams are]*not holding our breath every March and April, waiting for the guy. But if that's the case, that's the case. But we like Kirk and his development. He's played well at times, without a doubt, proven that he's a good starting NFL quarterback."

Every time he complinents Cousins there is always a qualifier in there. Its so weird. "At Times". Why throw that in there?

yeah that is very odd to me, and Jon Gruden seems to be harsh on KC too when he called our games.

Its just an observation and this isn't the first time its happened.

I'm the 5% that actually wouldn't mind seeing Cousins walk, so I'm not bothered by it. Just interesting to me as I don't see the benefit to it.

[MTK]

Yeah just saying it’s pointless to try to read into everything. I’m sure Gruden would rather have him back than to start over with someone else. He just wants it settled either way like we all do.

You think only 5% would be ok with him walking?? It’s much higher than that.

Because the team was 7-9.

Its higher than that but its definitely the minority opinion, at least among us here. I feel like we have enough commentators to be a pretty good reflection of Skins fans as a whole.

I agree about the settled thing. Its getting to the point now that this is the only thing that matters. I'll roll with whatever happens, just get it done asap. For Pete's Sake.

Especially on Twitter. In fact, I'd say the fanbase is quite divided on Kirk Cousins. Which is kind of funny. It's not like each of us is having to fund his contract. If the 'skins can sign him to a LTD while signing other areas of need, I really don't care what Cousins makes. More power to him! All I care is that he leads us to a Super Bowl championship, and personally, anything less is a disappointment.

Gruden baffles me at times.. He will win more games with Cousins next year than starting over so if I am Gruden I would praise Cousins every chance i could UNLESS he knows something the rest don't. He could know that the front office are not going to sign cousins to a LTD so he is playing Coy with Cousins..He maybe thinking with a different QB next year it would buy him more time as head coach. I agree with MTK that Gruden should want Cousins back but you never know.

But you’re against Cousins I thought, didn’t you used to say he wasn’t worth it, that he wouldn’t win 6 games this year

Cousins is holding the Redskins hostage and I'm tired of it. His first priority is getting his freedom, not necessarily resigning w/ the Redskins. That bothers me. I want a guy that's "all in" as someone use to say. He's not.

He's not signing before March 6th so I'd try and trade him.The Browns have plenty of cap space to absorb 34 million and they have the 1st and 4th picks of the 1st round. They'd be my first call.
