With Monday's 4 pm deadline to sign franchise players looming, no deals close for Kirk Cousins, Le'Veon Bell, Trumaine Johnson at this time.
Adam SchefterVerified account @AdamSchefter
Kirk Cousins is not expected to sign a long-term deal by Monday’s deadline, but is open to doing deal with team after season, per source. |
Well that's kind of positive. |
Yea, if you actually believe it. That's gonna be the narrative all season to calm the fans down, then Cousins will be gone this time next year. |
Don't get me wrong, I really don't. I'm always hopeful something will get done but like Danny Roullier said on twitter and Mike14T has used before, I don't really believe it will happen.
It's really sad, as I just said to someone who was upset about the instability at the qb position for another year. I said heck, the Redskins have been unstable at the qb position since Theisman 32 years ago and they've had chances to re-sign sign and draft guys who could have their Qbs for most of the 90s, or most of the 2000s and now most of this decade and most of next but they've failed to get it done each one. It's so disappointing.

$28M AAV and up to $93M guaranteed?

Call me crazy but I'd do it. He's very likely to play out the entire contract he signs, whether it's guaranteed or not.

I'd do it too. That guaranteed is only 4m more than Luck's. And we can always renegotiate in the last 2 years with him to spread things out further.
And given that Ryan, Rodgers, Stafford, et al will be doing new contracts in the next two years, this will quickly be eclipsed.

Some of you guys are insane with what you're willing to pay Kirk but whatever. Something needs to be done either way. This whole situation is stupid.

The way I see it the guaranteed $ is irrelevant when you're talking about a good or great player. Almost every good/great player plays out their entire contract or as you said gets extended/renegotiated. The only player I can't remember playing out his whole contract in D.C. lately that was good or should have been was Haynesworth.

We clearly just don't want him.
| Quote: | Kirk Cousins is set to play the 2017 season under the franchise tag, with the latest offer from the Washington Redskins still falling short of his franchise tag valuation.
Despite the tone in contract negotiations taking a positive turn in recent weeks, the Redskins quarterback hasn't received an official contract offer from the organization since May. According to Tom Pelissero of NFL.com, that offer was more than the previous offer of approx. $20 million in average annual salary, however still noticeably short of the $23.9 million Cousins is due this season.
Another point of contention on the deal has been the guarantees offered by the Redskins. The team offered only two years of guaranteed money to the quarterback, and would have controlled his rights until 2021 while being able to cut or release him after the 2018 season with no financial burden shouldered by the team.
According to Nick Shook of NFL.com, Cousins is banking on himself in 2017 while remaining in the the driver's seat as far as future contract negotiations go. Should the Redskins fail to progress as an organization, Cousins will be free to seek employment elsewhere, however another strong season gives him the opportunity to have the upper hand in negotiations. |

We've lowballed him so much that there's no way he doesn't leave in free agency next year. This front office is going to let a starting QB leave with no compensation and no in house successor.

Its a full contact sport. Guaranteed money is extremely relevant.

What's the point? Bruce Allen will just trade 3 firsts for whatever terrible QB he falls in love with next.

Not at the quarterback position. Or who is it you think the Skins can sign with the money saved from not giving it all guaranteed that could compensate for Cousins not starting? |

I don't understand your question? If we give Cousins $80 mil in guaranteed money and he goes and blows out his knee this year we would be in trouble. Its a full contact sport where players can get seriously injured.
