Technico Support Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 LOL at this sad sack sports town (I work in suburban DC and am surrounded by Skins fans). Always ready to go all in for the next savior Snyder buys up, thinking one good player is going to make a difference, falling for this shit every time. Everybody in DC loved RG3 (shit, there was a car in my parking lot with a fucking "RGIII" vanity plate) until they didn't, then they were all about Cousins due to the sole qualification of "well, he's not RGIII." Now that Cousins has proven to be laughably average, it's Alex Smith time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am 100% on board with Alex Smith Getting His Money, especially if it's at the expense of Daniel Snyder's rube ass.

They paid $100 million more ($550 million total) than what NBC/CBS paid jointly for the last deal. This is why the Thursday games are never going away Actually, ESPN is saying Fox is paying $660/year million for 11 games. $60 million/game. The NBC/CBS deal that just ended worked out to $45 million per game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 That should (but won't) put an end to all those "the NFL sky is falling" articles. Also, FOX sold their production studio, so they need all the content they can get. And they are gonna have all that sweet sweet Disney cash...

Kevin Wilson Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 The Redskins/Cousins thing would be hard to work out. If they put the exclusive tag on him, they couldn't trade him until he signed it, and if he refused to sign it then it would just be a staring contest until either he signed it or they removed it. The risk for Cousins if they did tag him and he didn't sign it, the tag can be removed at any time if it isn't signed. So say if its August and Cousins hasn't signed it, they could remove it and Cousins would have to scramble to find a team that still has the desire/cap space to sign him to a big deal. The risk for the Redskins is if he signed it, they'd be the hook for the money if they couldn't find a trade partner and they'd have two expensive QBs next year. Sounds interesting.

dogwelder Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Yeah, if the Skins franchise Cousins 'so that they can trade him and recoup some of the compensation they are sending to Kansas City for Alex Smith' as the ESPN article says (yeah, right)...I may have to find another team to root for.

RIPPA Posted February 4, 2018 Author Share Posted February 4, 2018 There is no way they can franchise him and trade him because no team would want him because the tag would put him at cap hit that no one is going to pay (Keim is the ESPN Skins beat reporter) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Fowler Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I mean, theoretically a team could trade for him with the intention of working out a new deal but it appears Cousins wouldn't do that. Technically the Browns and maybe the Jets could actually afford that hit if they were really confident they could get him to re-sign next year. Cleveland does have over $100 million in cap room.

Yeah, if he signs it, between that and the rumored extension that they were going to give Alex Smith, they'd have about $60 million tied up in the quarterback position, and nobody's trading for Cousins if he's at $34 million. It's just mind-blowing that Washington would even contemplate it, and might be part of the reason why you don't announce trades like the Alex Smith deal in January.

He was every bit the deep threat, better over the middle, harder to tackle and more reliable. At best it's a wash. There's a reason their numbers are so similar.

I'm not an expert in it but I'd assume if a team traded for Cousins, as long as it was before July 15th they'd then have a chance to sign him to a long term deal so they wouldn't have to pay him $34 for the first year. But its still risky, since teams will know the Redskins are just bluffing and will remove the tag eventually, so they could just wait. And Cousins could just not sign it before that deadline. I don't blame the Redskins for at least looking into it but it just sounds like it would take the perfect storm for it to work out for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 Colts LB Edwin Jackson and his driver were struck and killed by a drunk driver today in Indianapolis. Even worse, an arriving state trooper struck one of them with his car as he arrived on the scene. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyboy Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 I reckon they'll wait until Wentz is ready to go before they make any decisions as financially I'm sure they can keep both, at least for the upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was being semi-facetious. There's roughly zero chance they keep both, especially because any one of the following will probably make an overwhelming offer for Foles (OR Wentz): Jacksonville, Denver, New York, Buffalo, and Cleveland. Foles is an ~$8M cap hit next season and just won a god damned Super Bowl MVP. To put it mildly, the market for him will be decently high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
