Rufus T Firefly Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 OK, now the only teams who will 'settle' for Kirk are the ones who miss out on Tyrod Taylor and Sam Bradford. Got it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cousins signs on day one of FA for $29M per year anyone could claim that his value was $30M per year a few weeks ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carex Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I am wondering if Cousins might have essentially priced himself out of some teams markets. That the GM in some team's meeting room is talking tot he owner and coach and saying "We'd like to get Kirk Cousins sure, but there's no way we can afford him. We need to go for McCarron, or Keenum" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Based on the season they've had, the fact they may let all three QBs walk does suggest Kirk or a move for Foles, if available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedlamVR Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I cannot see how you can turn and dump on a guy like Case Keenum who did so much for the team and move on to a free agent mercenary like (Kirk Cousins) but hey ho..

It would seem that they've concluded that he's not worthy of franchise tagging. They'd rather cut their losses now than play that kind of dangerous game that another team just played and lost.

tmandoug1 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Sure looks like Kirk will be a Viking........sounds like they are dumping all three QB's. Sirious just said they will let them test free agency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not start with the Skins? And just tout the party line. Forget being honest. LOL! Hall may be the second smartest player in NFL history (behind Kirk Cousins). That dude made a staggering amount of money for a guy who was pretty good, I guess. He forced his way out of two cities, taking huge chunks of money in both. He then signed a massive contract with the Skins - a year after he signed a massive contract with the Raiders. Then he somehow transformed himself into a Lifer with a team that has show inexplicable loyalties to the weirdest people over the years. I would love to know where he ranks in terms of all-time salary for non-quarterbacks. I bet it's very high on the list. I think he received five signing bonuses in his career, and he played on an inflated one year deal with the Skins after his Oakland debacle. 16 minutes ago, bedlamVR said: I cannot see how you can turn and dump on a guy like Case Keenum who did so much for the team and move on to a free agent mercenary like (Kirk Cousins) but hey ho..

Any FO that is afraid of improving a team because of ‘feelings’ in the locker room will not be successful. It is a business and players just have to be professional and accept the fact that players come and go. The FO has to constantly waive, draft, add players until they get the right combination that gets you to the Super Bowl. They are not doing their job if they didn’t. Bradford has been injured since he was drafted. The man is made of glass and you can’t depend on him. He is like another Jordan Reed. When Bridgewater injured his leg, it was so serious that a lot of people were wondering if he would even be able to walk. I would be nervous signing him to a LTD and depending on him when the time to win championships is NOW. That window closes fast for all teams. Keenum had one good year under Shurmur who is now gone. Do you trust him to repeat his performance under a new OC....or do you risk losing the locker room by letting him walk? Players want to win and if Keenum reverts back to his norm and the Vikings underachieve then players will be upset. Minnesota has a new OC and will have a new system....the coaches and FO know what they have and what they need far better than any of us. I think Cousins is very good and could very well reach Brees level and would be an upgrade for the Vikings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LadySkinsFan Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Kirk may want Minnesota because it's close to home (Michigan), and that may be reason enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew a little more tolerant of him for a few years where he at least seemed a solid locker room guy who was playing hard and doing what was asked of him. The came the late stage, Money for Nothing version. But in his heyday he made a LOT of money as a cover corner who couldn't really cover very well.

It does seem to be a popular rumour ... All players are mercenary. They go where the money is and also take into consideration whether the new system fits them. Kirk is no different than any other player that left their original team for another. Only reason why you don’t see many quarterbacks bouncing around is because good ones are so rare that they almost never reach FA. Redskins are fools for not understanding what they have and the market for the position....and for not signing Cousins after 2015. They could have had him for $19 million a year for 5 years. Now look where they are.....SMH. It’s almost like the Redskins are run by the Three Stooges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
