However, a contract cannot be executed with a new club until 4:00 p.m., New York time, on March 14. March 14 Trading period for 2018 begins at 4:00 p.m., New York time, after expiration of all 2017 contracts. Why let facts get in the way of a good story?

TigerJ Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 1 hour ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: If it's something like Tyrod & Cordy then maybe the rest is just a pick swap. Something like Washington gets Tyrod, Glenn, and our later 1st Buffalo gets Cousins and their 3rd wouldn't be awful. It wouldn't be terrible. I'd be a bit surprised if a trade involved a player swap simply because more trades involve draft choices for players. Of course, Cousins is playing on a franchise tag at the moment, so unless he signs a deal, he is a free agent. He's got to feel ticked off at Washington for the way they've handled him the last couple years instead of giving him a long term deal. Moreover, he has to know he's not in their long term plans. Those truths beg the question, why would he ever sign a long term deal with Washington knowing it's a sign and trade deal? Why not just force their hand? I don't know if they're even allowed to trade a franchised player. The Redskins might just decide it's not worth the risk and the cost of franchising him again.

Johnny Hammersticks Posted December 20, 2017 Share Posted December 20, 2017 I’m not validating the OP’s claims, however, teams are at liberty to have “discussions” prior to the draft/FA period. I see this Cousins situation as plausible. Still don’t understand the WNY connection though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will get you the information but my posts will be as specific as possible to avoid the fraud comments. I had this stadium information last week but I wanted to confirm some details before I posted to site. Many phone calls and email to be reviewed to connect the dots. Great, appreciate your being specific. So what town will the new stadium be built in? And you're reporting that we're tampering with Cousins?

I like the sound of Dave and Buster's Stadium, good for families and drinking. So we are planning to overpay to get Cousins and then overpay to keep him?! I'm in!! Seems very Billsie Why would this even happen unless Beane is in life long concussion protocol? Alex Smith will be available and cheaper.(he is the same QB only older) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close proximity for most coaches and players. Keep the big tree inn going strong. No need for them to be adjacent to the stadium. Of course the stadium won't be too far away in Lancaster....follow the money. My deep sources tell me there will be a new fan experience complete with interactive exhibits including setting yourself on fire, jumping on to tables, beer funnels, how to sneak booze into the stadium, dizzy bat inside a glass maze, etc... This will be an adult only area to counteract any family friendly nonsense. Deep Throat Donnie is just throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks. If you follow his nonsense closely, he changes direction more than a weather vane. LMAO you forgot the pre game sex area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cousins is the reason the Redskins aren't making the playoffs, then it's like saying Drew Brees was the reason the Saints didn't make it for 3 seasons. We are 8-6 with terrible QB play. You don't think good QB play doesn't make any difference? Edited December 20, 2017 by Royale with Cheese 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
