Better Than 50 Percent Chance Kirk Cousins Leaves Washington This Year

... Cousins and his future in Washington. Here are some of them. ‘A greater than 50 percent chance that he’s not with the Redskins next year.’. NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah speculated on a San Diego radio show this week that Cousins could be traded to San Francisco in the near future. “I don’t think they’re going to be able to get a long-term deal done, and I think there is, I would say, a greater than 50 percent chance that he’s not with the Redskins next year,” Jeremiah said. “So you’ve got the combine coming up, all these teams will be together. I would not be shocked, at all, if we saw a Kirk Cousins to San Francisco trade go down at that point in time. And now you’ve got the Dominoes really starting to fall. …. “From what I hear, they’re not, in [Redskins Park], totally 100 percent sold on ...

Redskins, Kirk Cousins Still No Closer On Agreement

... teams can negotiate on a price) too enticing to pass up, Washington would have to scramble at quarterback. Drafting a quarterback in an early round would probably enter into the team’s plans (and also could rank among the likely moves even if the team used the franchise tag on Cousins). And team officials would strongly consider turning to backup Colt Mc Coy as a bridge starter. Washington drafted Nate Sudfeld in the sixth round last season, and he worked behind Cousins and Mc Coy in practices. But he is regarded as a project rather than a starting option. Cousins would lead the free agent quarterback class if the Redskins did not tag him. Brian Hoyer , Mike Glennon , Ryan Fitzpatrick and Nick Foles all are expected to be free agents. But it’s unclear if any of those would fit with the team’s contingency plans. John Elway’s latest grand plan for Broncos will gain clarity at NFL combine. February 28, 2017, 5:04 pm. The NFL scouting combine has been mocked for its drills that seem antiquated and irrelevant, from the 40-yard dash to the long jump. It has earned ...

Stephen A. Smith Says Several Redskins Accused Kirk Cousins Of Padding His Stats

... in the Washington locker room. “Here’s what I would ask both y’all to consider,” Smith told his fellow panelists. “Usually I’ve got my thoughts and what have you, but I’m really just throwing this out as question marks to be answered. When I look at Kirk Cousins, I see a better-than-solid quarterback. I see a guy that’s good. That’s what I see. My issue, however, is I don’t see a franchise guy. He’s looking to be paid like a franchise guy. If that happens, I believe that it has the potential to divide a locker room, to alienate dudes. “Because when you’re that guy, unless you come out and get drafted and it’s understandable that you’re trying to get all the money you can … ultimately when you’re that guy — despite the fact that he completed 69 and 67 percent of his passes the last two years, 4,100 yards last year, 4,900 yards this past season — you do look at him and you do find yourself saying if they give him this money ...

Washington Redskins Place Exclusive Franchise Tag On Qb Kirk Cousins

... the social media site: "Tag! I'm it!". Coming off a pair of statistically impressive seasons, and a nearly $20 million salary under the franchise tag last season, Cousins is now in line for a one-year salary of about $24 million. He also could wind up agreeing to a long-term contract with the Redskins sometime before July 15 - or they also could decide to trade him, perhaps to a QB-starved team such as the San Francisco 49 ers, whose new head coach is former Washington offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. By using the exclusive tag, the Redskins prevent Cousins from signing an offer sheet with another team. A year ago, they put a non-exclusive tag on him, and he immediately signed it. From the time he came into the NFL as a fourth-round draft pick out of Michigan State in 2012 - the same year Washington took Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III with the No. 2 overall selection - Cousins and the Redskins have had an up-and-down relationship. At first, he was a backup behind Griffin, only getting a chance to play when the NFL ...

Of Course You Take Kirk Cousins Over Cam Newton

... back. Those two guys who they had in Washington were fantastic in giving him support in that role, so yeah, of course you take Kirk Cousins over Cam Newton, even though Cam Newton was the MVP. With Cam Newton, you get an MVP season one year and then the next year you get what the hell we saw in 2016. And what do you want? I’m not sure I want that roller-coaster. I’ve seen that roller-coaster — not with one guy, but with multiple guys over the course of my career. … With Cam Newton, you’re getting year-to-year volatility. With Kirk Cousins, you haven’t had that. It’s been pretty consistent.”. [ Brewer: Fans say ‘In Scot We Trust,’ but Bruce Allen is still calling Redskins’ shots ]. Of course, huh? Tierney asked Barber whether he thinks Newton’s superior running ability offsets Cousins’ advantage over the Panthers’ QB in several statistical categories over the last two seasons, including yards per attempt, completion percentage and QB rating. Newton  ran for 359 yards last season after rushing for at least 500 yards in each of his first five seasons. “How long does that last?” Barber said. ...

Kirk Cousins Reacts To Franchise Tag In The Most Kirk Cousins Way

... Rapoport. “Really, what the Redskins did was answer one of the biggest questions of the 2017 offseason with one move. They decided that they are not going to trade him to the San Francisco 49 ers, they’re not going to trade him anywhere. He’s going to be their quarterback for the next year and that is that.”. Team president Bruce Allen has said several times that the team wants to sign Cousins to a long-term deal. That may or may not happen but it appears that Cousins will be behind center for at least the 2017 NFL season. Stay up to date on the Redskins! Rich Tandler covers the team 365 days a year.

Draymond Green concerned about Kevin Durant injury. The Redskins now have their quarterback under team control for the 2017 season (assuming they don’t opt to trade him). But doing so will cost them a good chunk of their available salary cap space. They came into today with about $64 million in salary cap space. As soon as they filed the ...

Daniel Jeremiah Thinks Kirk Cousins Could Come To 49ers

... notable quarterback that could be on the move this spring. And another media member that runs in league circles thinks the Pro-Bowl signal caller may join the 49 ers. Jim Harbaugh quips that he deserves medal for lasting 4 years with 49 ers. Former NFL scout Daniel Jeremiah, now a draft analyst for NFL Network, in a radio spot in San Diego and on his “Move the Sticks” podcast this week indicated he thinks Cousins is bound for the Bay Area, this offseason or the next. “The more I talk to people around the league, the more sense I get that, not only is this thing not going to work out long-term extension-wise (with Washington),” Jeremiah said on his podcast. “I was thinking that to be he’s going to play on the franchise tag next year (2017), $24 million. I kind of thought that would make sense, that’s what I anticipated happening. The vibe I get from talking to folks around the league . is that there’s probably a better chance that Kirk Cousins is playing ...
