#Redskins offered Kirk Cousins $53M guaranteed, $72M guaranteed for injury. Cousins said he prefers to play year to year

 

Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 15m15 minutes ago

Wonder what color jerseys the Redskins will wear in the opener?

 

Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 17m17 minutes ago

And the sounds of the cannons go silent. It's 4 p.m. and a hush hangs over the land.

Bruce Allen says WAS offered Cousins $53 million guaranteed at signing. He should crush that in free agency, is why he said no.

Gary Fitzgerald @GaryRFitzgerald 25s25 seconds ago

PR message from #Redskins setting the groundwork for inevitable Kirk Cousins departure.

I'm told the proposed deal (five years) by Redskins only guaranteed one more year beyond this. Cousins fine taking his time.No hard feelings

Not surprised Skins would want to put figures out there to look better. But still was very little incentive for Cousins to sign.

ESPN Stats and Information  

Kirk Cousins and the Redskins were unable to come to terms on a longterm deal, which means Cousins will play under the franchise tag for the second consecutive season. Cousins will make $23.9 million this season as a result, bringing the cash value of his contracts from the last two seasons up to a combined $43.9 million. The highest cash value over a two-year span for any Tom Brady contract is $36.8 million (2015-16).

#Redskins say they offered Kirk Cousins a deal with $53 million fully gtd. Kirk's reps didn't give an offer back to the team.

Master TesfatsionVerified account @MasterTes 16m16 minutes ago

Replying to @MasterTes

Kirk Cousins about to get $44 million in 2 seasons, and at least $28 million in 2018. Might have to name the Finesse HOF after him.

Don't forget those sweet endorsement checks from Swingline staplers.

Important context in WAS release of Cousins offer. Team wanted him to sign for 5 years in exchange for $29M.

Kevin Seifert added,

Dan GrazianoVerified account @DanGrazianoESPN
Which means WAS offer was $29M more guaranteed money than the guy already had in hand. Not even close to market value.

This is in the story, but important to note on 53 mil Gteed: Means that an additional 29 mil was GTeed. Was not 53 plus the tag money.

 

John KeimVerified account @john_keim 34m34 minutes ago

Replying to @john_keim

If KC gets transition tag in 18, he's at the 53 mil sum -- then would cash in even bigger in '19. If signed 53 GT, leaving big $ on table

 

Rick Snider @Snide_Remarks 52m52 minutes ago

Well, Redskins offer looks in ballpark, but Cousins knew he could do better. Bet on himself again this year. Comes with risk, though.

Josh Norman, Steve Smith, and DeAngelo Williams are ripping now former Carolina GM Dave Gettleman. 3 players, 32 seasons, 0 rings.

 

Mike JonesVerified account @MikeJonesWaPo 6m6 minutes ago

In addition to no guarantees, skins proposed seasons 2019-22 would pay Cousins (then in prime) average annual salary in low $20Ms.

"Guess he took a stance & that was that" is an interesting quote from a fan fav, especially interesting to someone as cynical as me...

McCarthy on the phone with all of em. You know he throwing counter jabs ?? Okay I'm done for the day. This is hilarious

#Redskins best offer for Kirk Cousins was a 5-yr extension worth less than $110M, I'm told. With $24M in '17, it's 6 yrs, $133M - or Flacco
 
 

 

Furious Styles @Chris_Worthy_ 4m4 minutes ago

Seeing Junior Gallette on the same field as Zack Brown, Jonathan Allen, DJ, Hall, Sua... Nice mix of vets and young guys. Hope it works out

#Redskins media really salty that Bruce threw down numbers before they had a chance to "report" it. They going for blood now?

Zeke Elliott. Million dollar talent. Five cent brain.

My new name for him is Allen the Bruce. Do a google search on Robert the Bruce. No, not a fan of Allen the Bruce.

I explained in a post yesterday why $22 million/year would not be a fair offer to Cousins by the #Redskins http://www.csnmidatlantic.com/washington-redskins/need-know-what-would-fair-redskins-contract-offer-kirk-cousins-look

If there is some stupid high number that he would accept in terms of gtd $/avg per year, then ask for it! Say what you want!

The amount of cheerleading being done for this guy is nauseating.
