Why would he sign s tender to be in a QB battle with a guy, when there’s plenty of other teams that he can start for and still get paid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could sign immediately, publicly state he will not negotiate a long term deal with a team and will show up in shape ready to compete and collect his 34M. Then get paid next year.

Very curious as to the asking price being he’s slated to be a FA. They "can" do it but it's so risky they really "can't" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDotNova Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 The trade Cousins ship has long sailed. It's too risky for the Redskins. They have $47M in cap space of which half will got to Alex Smith. What if Cousins wait to sign the tag? Now the Redskins are handcuffed in FA. And what if he waits until June to sign it? Now the Redskins are over the cap. It just gets too messy for the Redskins. Best for that franchise to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redskins could cover 7-11m cap for Smith in 2018. Still, Redskins are better off not offer him anything. Like every fan, I ain't interested in paying him to sabotage his future.

rdelaney89 Posted February 6, 2018 Share Posted February 6, 2018 I bet Kirk goes to the Browns: - They just tried to trade a 2nd rounder for Alex Smith but only wanted him for 1 year at $20M. - That tells me they want to take a QB #1 overall - If that QB is Allen like people believe it will be then he learns behind Cousins for a year - $80M in cap after signing Cousins ($34.5M cap hit), but I don't think they'll miss out on anyone they target because of Kirks contract. - They'd only need to give up a better pick than a 2019 late 3rd, maybe the Browns 4th rounder this year is enough. Browns will still have 6 picks in the top 3 rounds. - They could let him walk and it wouldn't hurt their cap moving forward - If they sign him long term then they could likely trade Josh Allen for a 1st rounder, even though it's less than the value of the pick they used on him. They trade down essentially while giving them 2 shots at a QB. - If Cousins leaves then it's Kizer vs Allen 2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he wants to be a stop gap QB for a season or 2. I'd imagine he wants to finish his career with whoever he signs with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it won’t be us though if I’m honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but he'll receive similar contract offers next year if he's a FA so why not collect the extra $34M to play for a team you may have already been willing to sign with?
