bknp7 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Kirk an Alex are very similar. The good thing is we are not over paying Kirk for 5-6 years. We will have $ to upgrade other positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is so incredibly stupid I can't get over it. I can't wrap my head around it either. I've been relatively lenient in regards to the Front Office recently, but..... that grace period is over. this entire transaction makes no sense. None. Its so ****ing baffling.

And no you are wrong kirk and smith are not very similar Kirk can play with 0 running game and Hardly any talent at receiver, Smith will be benched by week 7 of this year if not sooner with the same cast.

worstSeat Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 If the Skins transition tag Cousins now and trade him to Cleveland, does the tag transfer? Could Cleveland match offers and keep him long term? Because if they could, they should. I don’t think the tag transfers, but if it does, DC could get some serious value on Kirk now.

TradeTheBeal! Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Kendall Fuller is a really nice player. Love him. A veteran near-Pro Bowl level QB is worth 10 Kendall Fullers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskins4ever28 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 LOL I thought this was a joke at first’! this is a living nightmare an old qb who has never been better then decent, and a second rd pick? Holy crap what the heck??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky52Mc Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This move has me completely okay with not getting anything for Kirk if we just let him ****ing walk. But blowing up the team isn't the way to go for Alex Smith. He's not worth it. He IS NOT WORTH IT. Bruce Allen just got owned by the Browns by allowing them to leverage him into giving up Fuller. Who's going to sign Kirk? Probably Cleveland. Why not just keep all of our players and picks and pursue Teddy Bridgewater, Sam Bradford, or Case Keenum depending on who becomes an FA? Why in the hell are we paying Smith $24,000,000? This is an absolute JOKE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything to fuel the fires of the same old Redskins Circus angle I suppose. Yes it was certainly possible to tell the player or his agent before it was leaked to the media. Or within the first half hour or hour after it was leaked. Or first two hours maybe, that would have been good. Don't do this to yourself.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 3 minutes ago, ConnSKINS26 said: So the logic for not signing Kirk is that it would hamstring our ability to build the rest of the roster. Okay. So we trade a cheap 3rd round rookie contract and a good, cheap 22 year old CB for a QB who we are paying only $5-6M less....at 34. Anyone talking themselves into this deal after the info about Fuller came out is a ****ing moron and deserves what this team is doing. It stopped making sense once it came out Smith's contract was 23.5 million a year. Kirk would have to get 30+ to make it worth it. Adding in Fuller is just...baffling. I have a feeling the coaches were also not informed of these decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExoDus84 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 My first reaction was that getting Smith was a smart move since he gives you 90% of Kirk, while being cheaper. Kirk was never going to come back so you had to move on. I thought a third wasn't too bad a price. Then I read we gave him 24 per, and 70 million (!) guaranteed. Then I read we just threw in our young, cheap, stud corner who is starter quality and has a hell of a future ahead of him. Just for ****s and giggles. Oh, and this is for a player in Smith that the Chiefs really want to get rid of and have absolutely no leverage with. Bruce Allen and Snyder are a bunch of ****ing morons. Just inept in every ****ing way. They should be strung up by their goddamn heels. The only hope we have left is that since this signing won't be official for a while, the retards in charge will take their medication, come to their senses, and at least take Fuller off the table. Christ almighty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Lumber Co. Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Please explain to me how we replace a QB with one of the exact same caliber while subsequently ending the drama that surrounded the previous one... And lose one other player (as if he is the only talented young one we have) equals 4-12 next year? Especially if said QB gives us 2 or 3 years to draft and groom his replacement?
