Cool for Jones, deserves the payday.

Also, probably bullshit, but if so, good on Kirk for trashing his trade value so thoroughly and the 49ers for taking advantage:

What the hell am I missing. Why can't the Redskins and Cousins agree on a long term deal?

I guess the Redskins tried to dick him around and he's pissed now? Or maybe he sees the writing on the wall with all his weapons leaving town and thinks the Niners are better positioned to build up an offense around him (which lol)

Someone broke the 40 record at the combine I guess. Adidas was offering an island (like a for real island) for anyone who did it, but this guy was wearing NIke's so he wasn't eligible.

Washington made it abundantly clear they don't believe in him with the franchise tag nonsense, which combined with total front office dysfunction probably leading to both of his leading receivers peacing out means he apparently wants to also get the gently caress out of dodge.

I think we can safely say that Washington's dysfunction is higher level then that. When the GM is apparently out and the old GM / team president is calling all the shots, and the team owned radio station is burning the GM.... who did lose his last GM gig job because of alcohol problems, it's just... man.

It's a loving mess and it looks like everyone's fleeing the ship.

Even Dak could fall apart, it happened to ROTY QB Rick Mirer!

Washington is playing nth dimensional chess, to get all D&D in here.

If that offer is real, the Jets 2 this year and 1 next year can probably land him. Thats a no loving brainer.

What if he won't sign an extension? It's entirely possible he's throwing a giant hissy fit to match Washington's,

That's a nice set of 11 dynasty points there, it would be a shame if 3 rings were to happen with it
Since this hissy fit might end with the 49ers getting Cousins for a song, I'll allow it

If you get franchised two years in a row, I don't think it qualifies as a "hissy fit" any longer.

Getting franchised even once is bullshit.

Obviously that type of offer would be contingent on him signing an extension but I wouldn't see any issue with paying him in that $22-24m per on a LTC that the top guys are getting now.

OTOH he's getting the kind of guaranteed money that you'd normally get for a 5 year contract


I have a feeling that the "do right deal" that Jerrah keeps talking about includes not only excluding the NFCE teams but also the Texans

Bring on Cutler?

Agreed. It is not a hissy fit saying "No, I will not sign a long-term contract with this franchise".

Yeah, that's kind of the thing. He can sign with whoever the hell he wants regardless of fans thinking he somehow owes the Redskins for drafting him

Players leave all the time, granted it's so unusual to see that happen with a QB

San Diego did it but of course they had a pro bowl QB ready to replace him, not Colt McCoy

It's a low enough offer where you might be better off beating it and taking your changes with him in the offseason.

Yeah it didn't work out with Kaep for the 49ers, but he was at least an up and coming quarterback you could imagine being good. Colt McCoy is just a guy.

Alex Smith? Eh. He never had a single season as good as Kirk Cousins in 2015 or 2016. Gambling on Kaepernick was arguably a mistake, but it wasn't clear-cut at the time like Cousins vs., uh, McCoy or whoever.

He had a parade of imbeciles for his OC for the first like 8 years of his career. Then when he finally got a good coach he didnt really have any weapons other than Vernon Davis and Old Frank Gore.
