clskinsfan Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 I think we can remove the Hypothetical from the title of this thread now. Cousins is going to get paid. And he is going to get paid huge. Say what you want about Jason LaCanfora. But the guy still has his contacts in the organization. And they are saying they have already reached out to Kirks people about an extension. Cousins is not leaving the Redskins. Period. At the beginning of this thread I said Kirk is getting at least 10 mill per year from someone. After what he has done the past 8 weeks I will be shocked if he doesnt get closer to 17 or 18 mill per year. He would be by far the best FA QB available. He is getting franchised if a long term deal isnt reached by early March. I for one am ecstatic that he has played himself into the QB he is. There have been few QB's better over the xecond half of the season. The Redskins are set at QB for years to come at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildbunny Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 But how much should they really be expected to pay for the 28th best QB in the NFL? http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000578287/article/qb-index-ranking-the-starters-from-1-to-32 That's an article a month old... Kirk have been playing pretty well over that span. It would be different by now. Just like power rankings. We're not looking like bottom dwellers anymore.

zCommander Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Has this idea have been discussed in this thread? What if Kirk says sorry I am going to another team because of a better offer and that would mean starting RG3 in 2016 since we have him for 2016 anyways.

So that’s the bottom line: I want to be where I’m wanted, and we’ll find out where I’m wanted in a few months. But we have a job to do before that, and that’s where my focus is: on right here and right now. And if we get the job done, I’d like to think I’ll be wanted here.” *Click Link For More* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you not understand my shudder gifs. I mean I like put 3 of them there to show how I really feel about that scenario. But in real life this can happen though. Just because we don't want to think about it but it can... or we still get rid of RG3 regardless and get a new QB... But that would mean end of Gruden here so I am sure he will do whatever it takes to keep Kirk here. This is what I want and most fans want that now. I have said from the get-go to give Kirk all 16 games this season to see if he is the future. Don't think many liked that idea too in the beginning saying he is at best a backup QB. But hey that's what you get from being a realist sometime. You have to cover all of your bases so no one can steal one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinssRvA Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Cousins is very close to the 18 mil a year range at this point. He is making all the throws, showing all the guts, and saying all the right things after each game win or lose. He's a class act with capable qb intangibles. If we make it to the playoffs, it's a big time contract with plenty of opt out options at the end of the third year. book it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsailand Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 But in real life this can happen though. No, the team can franchise him. And they will if they can't make a deal. They are not going to let other teams make offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butters20 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 You all may be right. My number may be low. It's a guess I don't know if he goes 20 million a year I would guess 14-18 per year but I'm not a GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins remain undecided when it comes to Cousins’s value, and contract talks between the team and the quarterback’s representatives have not yet reached advanced stages, two people with knowledge of the situation said. However, the team’s decision-makers find themselves in agreement over Cousins: He’s their starter long term, and not merely a bridge quarterback. *Click Link For More* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 ^^^ Though we still have the season to finish, and how we do finish matters, everyone enjoying Kirk's success here these days, and the games and wins, ought to give a big 'thank you" to that booger eating googly-eyed moron who had the football smarts and integrity to make a very high-pressure assessment correctly and fight for it, and the skills to help coach the guy up---patiently and cautiously, to the disdain of many.

BatteredFanSyndrome Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Alot like Cousins, Jay did look like one of the worst for quite a while. Up until a few weeks ago, what outside of his last name had anyone thinking he wasn't bottom of the barrel and in over his head? I'm glad things have turned for the better but again, he gave us plenty of reasons to be critical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsailand Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 The best thing Gruden has done for the team is put his support behind Kirk. For that alone, he deserves another year. Other than that, he hasn't impressed. He is improving, but not as fast as Kirk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes stones to do what he did, no doubt. He's still left much to be desired over the past couple years all around as a head coach. Like Kirk, he's trending upwards. However if this team comes out flat and reverts back to running into walls on Saturday, we'll be back on the he sucks train again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DogofWar1 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm thinking after the Bills, his floor will be 17M/Year. Probably likely towards 18M. If he has 4+ combined TDs over the next two weeks, I could actually see him pushing for 19M. And it's definitely in play if we make the playoffs and win the first game. Frankly, if we had to give him a 5 Year, 95M contract, I'd probably pull the trigger provided the difficulty/cost in cutting him wasn't too great after year 2. Assuming he plays well, extend after year 3 to smooth out hits in years 4 and 5 for 3 more years, that gets him to age 35. he wants to be wanted where it rains money. if it don't rain money he ain't wanted. Maybe we can set him up with a Shake Shack deal where he gets free Shake Shack for life. Then we just need Dan to buy out Shake Shack as a company and close any within 50 miles of any other football stadiums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
