GreggTX Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 10 minutes ago, Buffalo03 said: The problem with this though, is if you miss in the draft then you set this team back another 5 years. With our track record of drafting the past 17 years we will most likely end up drafting the wrong guy. Cousins easily has another 10 years ahead of him. It would be the same as drafting our own guy except we would be paying him a lot more money up front If our drafting doesn't get better, it won't matter who plays QB. Keep in mind, we just replaced our ENTIRE personnel staff. Let's see what they can do. Cousins may make us OK, but if we want to win it all, we have to swing for the fences. There are 31 other teams all after the same prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefenseWins Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I think Cousins gets MORE than 25 million per season... 25 is the floor... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you really want to take that chance? What if they hit and end up with a stud qb? Also, what has Cousins done that is so impressive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Redskins are probably going to back the Brink's truck up for Cousins. Their other options are let him pursue FA or tag him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We may even be out of the Mason Rudolph level. You know what you have in Kirk Cousins and he can give you 6-8 quality years. You have no problem wasting money on Dareus or Mario Williams. Why not a qb this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan_34 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 1 hour ago, Buffalo03 said: You won't have to pay him that much money. He would only make that much money by being on the franchise tag for a 3rd straight year, otherwise we could get him for between $20-$25 million a season. I wouldn't call him a little above average either. He's a fairly good QB if you ask me Cousins market value will be right around 30- 35 mil a year for 5-7 years and someone will pay it. Do a market analysis and this is what you will come up with. I dont want to be handcuffed by a qb who does alot of sloppy, stupid things. There is a reason the Niners traded for Jimmy G and didnt wait on Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsfanAZ Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 I would only be on board with Cousins if the Bills invested draft picks in Oline or free agency picks. Cousins cant make chicken salad out of chicken shlt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Redskins’ schedule this year has been absolutely brutal, but Cousins’s numbers the last two and a half years are borderline elite. I don’t understand why he is so little respected around here.

Lets just go for the proven guy. Go get Kirk Cousins in the offseason and focus the draft on other needs Good God just stop.

Wow, some awful takes in this thread. You also realize that Phil Rivers has led the Chargers to a much worse record than Tyrod since 2015, and that Drew Brees has led the Saints to one more win than Tyrod during that time, right? 11 minutes ago, Tcali said: Good God just stop.

808 Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 i think cousins is exactly the type of QB this front office wants. and they have the money to go after him. they'll be bidding against the skins and the jets. I'm just tired of losing. do whatever it takes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
