I'd like him to be picked by Giants so he could screw Washington multiple years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punching Bag Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 7 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: Once Cousins signs, it makes him tradeable, not untradeable. The receiving team is free to negotiate a long term contract with Cousins, and would presumably (as with Smith) settle on mutually acceptable terms before executing the trade. They can negotiate a 5 year contract that gives him a $50M signing bonus prorated over 5 years and a salary of $0.01 in 2018 but a salary of $27M next year. You cannot take salary below minimum level for number of years experience so it cannot be $0.01. 36 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: 100% that should be his plan I was diagnosed with it with no medical evidence ; only when the "treatment" almost made me crippled did they go beyond their "scientific judgement" to discover a tumor the size of a golf ball in ankle so I know how subjecting that diagnosis is and there is no medical evidence to back it up.

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I hope Washington does this so they can get stuck with him and Smith. That would be too funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benderbender Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 This move is so Washington. Lets franchise the guy we could have had for easily under 20 million 3 years ago, that we’ve paid out the nose for each season since, and expect some dopey team to come along and trade for the massive one year contract. Keep it up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could trade Smith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But why wouldn't Cousins say to any team that is about to sign him, "Don't trade anyone to those bastards. They are not going to keep me. I want all the picks and players on my new team I can keep. You're my new guys now. Call their bluff. I'm signing with you." Hopefully you're sober now. I'd say because more than one team wants him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I now understand why a tag and trade is highly unlikely - but it may be the only way a team like the Bills could get a legitimate shot at Cousins. ---------------------------------------------- I thought we already discussed this?

We did, but Washington's front office is contemplating taking advantage of the Franchise Tag to extract compensation for Cousins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
