So they can't trade him in this season, and unless they franchise him, he's a FA as soon as the new league year (and trades) are allowed March 14th. Yeah as of today Cousins is NOT a UFA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Why on earth would a guy like Cousins want to play for the Jets? I mean really...are they going to give him that much more than anyone else and totally blow the top off the market? What is so compelling about the Jets to Cousins. Are they going to fully guarantee his contract or something? This part makes no sense to me. If the Denver thing happens after yesterdays trade it is not a great day for the Bills IMO. We are down to Minnesota scraps and a forced move up in the draft...which BTW won't be as easy as some seem to think or a sure thing. Tyrod time?

SaviorPeterman Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Too bad Denver gave up on Siemian who was developing nicely under Rick Dennison of all coaches prior to last season when he left and joined the Bills. Won't be surprised if they are reunited with the Jets depending on what happens with Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 With Cousins to Denver, Buffalo has no other choice but to trade up in the top 10 for one of the top 3. If Darnold somehow falls to #3, I would see what it's take to get something done with Indy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are down to Minnesota scraps and a forced move up in the draft...which BTW won't be as easy as some seem to think or a sure thing. Tyrod time? The Jets have quietly built a solid team (Although lacking in a lot of areas). The receiver group looks good with Kearse, Anderson, and Sefarian-Jenkins, the defense is viable, and the offense managed to play well with Josh McCown. There have also been rumors that they might try to get Cousins and Bell which would make that a dangerous offense. It's also worth noting that with rumors of the imminent collapse of the Patriots dynasty (take it for what it's worth) that there could be a potential power shift allowing for a riser. Not saying NY is a safe bet to content (even with Cousins) but I don't think they're that horrible of an option. And while we're discussing the options: Denver does have some supporting pieces, but they're aging and the offensive line is terrible; Jacksonville has a good young group but there's about to be a whole lot of money hungry folks in that town and they've already used a lot of cap (could be a Seahawks situation in the next 2-3 years); and Cleveland is still Cleveland (although with Cousins and all those draft picks under the leadership of Dorsey I could see them competing soon!)

BuffaloRebound Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 8 minutes ago, YoloinOhio said: I agree. However it’s possible that his agent has already tested the waters of the teams that he would want to play for, if the redskins allowed him to talk to them. What does this mean? So we could've allowed Gilmore or any other Free Agent we weren't going to sign to illegally negotiate with another team in February before the NFL allows free agents to talk to other teams and got compensation for it?

RochesterRob Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 13 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: No it's not. They are not going to tie up $29M on their cap. The intention would never be to hold Cousins that long but rather see what the Redskins could extort without going through a transition process and in this case it may yield Talib. Elway might be agreeable to that versus letting Cousins hit the open market in March. Maybe the Redskins have heard whispers leading them to this move?

If they've decided they want to move on from Cousins, it's not a bad thing. But since it was your post: where does a trade and Talib come into it?

If indeed a trade is agreed upon by both sides, and Cousins has an extension agreement in place with Denver, all Washington needs to do is transition tag him so that he can sign it and make himself eligible for a trade. Once the trade is processed, he can sign his new deal with Denver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think it is fairly likely that they are talking to Elway behind the scenes and working out a deal that won't be releases until the league year starts?

NastyNateSoldiers Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 52 minutes ago, RochesterRob said: I thought that since Cousins was under contract last season that in turn means he is not able to negotiate until March. I thought working trades at this point was against the spirit of the rules. Oh well, I might learn something new today. Your right this shouldn't be allowed at all this will open up a big can of worms the NFL should deal with this In a timely matter. Roger Goodell has to be the worst commish sports. No wonder there losing ratings like crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
