The #Redskins Chris Thompson openly discussed what several execs have told me about paying the QB and why the team was hesitant to pay Kirk Cousins. If you pay $30M to the QB, you can spend money on the supporting cast and defense. For that kind of dough, he HAS to carry the team https://t.co/Z9d4AWR9i8
