That is, of course, unless the Redskins decide to place a franchise tag on him, which seems unlikely. To put things into perspective, if the Redskins do franchise tag Cousins, he would stand to make $34.5 million next season. |
If that's the case, he'll sign with either the Broncos, Cardinals or Vikings on whoever gives him the best overall contract. All three teams are ready to win now with strong defenses and are just a QB away from contending.
If Cousins signs with the Jets or Browns, then it's all about the money.

Spot on.
These daily threads from bush league websites trying to drum up false commentary is complete bullshit.
It is almost like the Russians have invaded BBI with a misinformation campaign.

Who cares at this point. We are in the dead part of the year. Got to talk about something.

It's all about the money with Cousins. He is coming out of this as the highest paid QB this offseason. He has created a holier than thou appearance, but it's BS. He's Eddie Haskell.
I live in DC and have heard him a lot on his local weekly media radio spots on 106.7 through the years. He's mentioned that he's already made $44+ million in the last 2 years of being Franchised by the Redskins and his decision won't primarily be about the money. He wants to go to a location that he can contend year in and year out.
It's really a great time for him to hit free agency. As he can either select from a multitude of teams that are ready to contend from the Broncos, Cardinals, Vikings or just go to a team that will make him the highest paid QB in the NFL like the Jets or Browns.
A TON of Cap $$$$ to spend
And a pretty young team that has some pieces on D already
Plus it's NY/NJ
Cousins will be a Jet, maybe just for the money, but the Jets will be better if they don't fuck up FA and the Draft

I think he is more likely to go to Denver or maybe even Arizona. He has been tied to Denver for months.

Cousins has come up short in big games
Two years ago Cousins was awful against the Giants in the last game of the year
The game was meaningless to the Giants but if Washington won they were in the playoffs
I do not think Cousins is worth the money that is being bandied about
He’s an incredibly unselfish guy that is taking one for the team. He doesn’t want the money, it’s all for everyone else. He’d probably play for free because he’s such an incredible human but he must fall on the sword for the other guys looking to become insanely rich.
He’ll prolly be nominated for sportsman of the year due to his sacrifices. What a great guy, right? So when he takes the most money from the Jets, just remember his selfless acts of heroism.

I think he was trying to get market value for himself the past 2 seasons and Redskins didn't think he was the answer and no other options but to franchise him. I don't think he was money hungry, but the Redskins burned that bridge more so then Cousins did.

When does it stop?
Per WikiAnswers, the average salary for an NFL player in the 1960s was $30,000. (To put that into perspective, no one in my 1964 NCE graduating class got an offer above $10,000.)
This escalation though has accelerated in comparison to say engineering salaries.
It is like housing prices a few decades ago, every one thought (and counted on) prices going up; until they didn't, and the whole thing came crashing down.
I think the NFL (owners and players) will experience the same kind of bubble burst.
and time and will not take Jets to SB.

You're the one person on this site I can't lie to about my age! Hope all is well.
I disagree there. The Jets offense is a mess. Their offensive line is in just as bad shape as the Giants. They have one of the worst receiving corps in football. Their TE are much worse and their they don't have a featured RB either. They are about to release Wilkerson and they don't have anyone to replace him. Leonard Williams and their starting safeties are great but that's about all they have going for them on defense besides Darron Lee.
Quite an indictment on the work of Jerry Reese. Also helps lend credence to the idea that this isn’t likely going to be the quick one offseason turnaround that some here think it is.
Their offensive line situation isn't good after losing Ferguson and the Center.
no runningback
no WRs
lost richardson and wilkerson fell apart
been looking for a pass rusher for years
no cornerbacks
Nice job with the safeties though.
He has been able to light it up for a couple of seasons now...

He comes up small in big games. Just look at the 2016 season finale versus the Giants. All he needed to do was beat the Giants and the Redskins were in the playoffs. The Giants had nothing to play for and Cousins once again had a bad game and lost. The year they went to the playoffs Cousins didn't beat a single team with a winning record that season.
Cousins is an AVERAGE QB. As I call him bad Eli.
All the interceptions none of the good.
If Jets are willing tp pay Cousins $30,000,000 year to go 8-8/9-7. forever!
Maybe Giants should think of ejecting them from Giants stadium until they grow up.
I find it funny that you think an NFL franchise would let it slip that they would "pay whatever it takes" to sign a player. That would be incompetence at an astounding level.
You continue to run this same track on repeat. You haven't realized by now that most of these POS sites are in it for clicks?
And clearly it works, when fans like you take the bait, hook, line and sinker.
I'm with you that there's lots of click-bait sites out there, and especially this time of year, lots of misdirection out there from Skins, agents, other teams, etc regarding lots of topics... but i dunno, could be true. I have no idea.
Also when Cousins says he 'wants to play for a team that will contend year in and year out'...
I mean, yes, some teams are run better than others over the long-term... but Cousins knows that his play and his contract will go a long way into determining whether that team will contend right? The Vikings and Broncos have had more success in recent years... but that's not to say a few years ago the Jets or even Browns might have the better trajectory. A lot of that will be decided by who their QB is.

If it reasonably makes sense then why can’t there be truth to it? Oh that’s right, according to you everyone out there reporting just does so for clicks, zero truth behind anything anyone says.
My opinion is, if it’s said, if it makes sense... then it’s reasonable to think it may be true... but here I am getting killed for believing the Jets are very interested in the best F/A QB available... get off my dick Gatordouche we had it out a couple of threads ago regarding Devon Kennard or whatever but leave it alone now.. I have.
who they won shit with.

Let me explain because you must not realize...
The Jets know what the market price for a QB is and so do Cousins... it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to assume Cousins easily gets paid one of the very biggest if not biggest NFL contracts in history... that goes without saying.. everyone knows that but you apparently... now the fact that the Jets are in need of a QB... and the fact that Cousins is about to hit the open market... and the fact that someone says the Jets are willing to pay “whatever it takes”... doesn’t mean they give Kirk a billion fucking dollars and half of the team OBVIUOSLY all it means is that the Jets are willing to make Kirk one of the richest NFL players ever... why is it so hard to fathom there just maybe some truth to that...
And you must be naive to think these organizations don’t have information slip... it’s not the fucking CIA protecting their secrets here... people do talk on occasions how do you think posters like hitdog42 know everything before it happens, thank god he does a good job of being somewhat discreet when he does reveal some info
I cannot believe you feel this way. The Jets roster is a complete dumpster fire. They have a few decent pieces on the defensive side but overall it is a roster full of gigantic holes everywhere. The Jets had a halfway competent coach that got more out of them than anyone on the planet expected. The Giants had one of the worst head coaches in NFL history.
I’m not saying the Giants don’t have holes, they do. Many of them. But the Jets roster is in better shape? How the hell do you see that?
Smart negotiation or not... “Whatever it takes” translates to top QB market price and not literally whatever it takes... if you don’t understand that much than I would say you are reaaaalll “smart” too.

I keep saying this. Compare our roster to Philly's and notice that Beckham is the only guy that's a surefire starter in Philly.
That's the canyon sized gap between this team and contending.

Here's a simpler explanation: writers speculate.
Writers ‘always’ speculate.. according to you.. you are the only that knows it all. You win. LOL when the Jets sign him and make him the highest paid QB.. then you can say “lucky guess/speculation” instead of just saying “hey that writer might have gotten some real info”
He has been able to light it up for a couple of seasons now...
Just my opinion but based on current QB salaries, he's worth avg/year of about $20M per. $25M per is waaaay too much for Cousins. One team with cap $ to burn will snag him.

I think about 7-8 Giants could start for a Eagles-Giants combined roster. Point still taken though...very sad.

Odell, Shepard, Engram, Collins, Jenkins, DRC, Snacks could all easily start for the Eagles and I don’t think Derek Barnett is anywhere close to OV or JPP right now... and Tomlinson has shown enough in year 1 to make me believe he will be better than Tim Jernigan sooner than later.

I was just looking at some stats. Engram isn't quite as productive as Ertz, yet.
