Redskins, Kirk Cousins Still No Closer On Agreement

... led his team to back-to-back winning seasons for the first time in 20 years while setting consecutive franchise single-season passing records. Teammates, including Pro Bowl left tackle Trent Williams and tight end Jordan Reed , have lobbied publicly for the Redskins to re-sign Cousins. Coach Jay Gruden has discussed moving forward with the quarterback as though it’s a foregone conclusion. Team President Bruce Allen hasn’t wavered when asked about his plans either. But all of that is lip service.

Kirk Cousins Reacts To Franchise Tag In The Most Kirk Cousins Way

... via Twitter. Only Cousins could have responded like this. Washington deployed the exclusive franchise tag on Cousins this year , a change from 2016 when the team used the non-exclusive tag on their QB.

He should be happy with the tag, it means a guaranteed $24 million salary for 2017, on top of the nearly $20 million he made in 2016. Most expect Cousins to sign the tag and sign it quickly.

Washington Redskins Place Exclusive Franchise Tag On Qb Kirk Cousins

... (AP) - In a move that seemed the most likely at this point in the odd dance between Kirk Cousins and the Washington Redskins, the team placed the exclusive franchise tag on the starting quarterback on Tuesday. The Redskins announced the news one day before the deadline for assigning tags to players. Nearly a half-hour before the club itself sent out a news release about the move, Cousins' agent Mike Mc Cartney tweeted about it, and Cousins wrote on the social media site: "Tag! I'm it!". Coming off a pair of statistically impressive seasons, and a nearly $20 million salary under the franchise tag last season, Cousins is now in line for a one-year salary of about $24 million. He also could wind up agreeing to a long-term contract with the Redskins sometime before July 15 - or they also could decide to trade him, perhaps to a QB-starved team such as the San Francisco 49 ers, whose new head coach is former Washington offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan. By using the exclusive tag, the ...

... that running edge that he had earlier on, it was such a pain in the ass, it dissipated as he got older.

Stephen A. Smith Says Several Redskins Accused Kirk Cousins Of Padding His Stats

... but seemed a tad too deliberate down the stretch. Big difference between fans saying that on sports-radio and “three or four players” reaching out to a television person, though.).

Actually, turns out it was Smith himself who later made that point. “Listen, let me say this, what I was told about Kirk Cousins, I don’t like,” he said. “I’m willing to be man enough to admit: it’s kind of unfair to him. Because at the end of the day, you go out on the field, and you perform. And you look at the subpar quarterbacks permeating the National Football League, he’s not one of them. I am hesitant to give him franchise-caliber money, but the more he appears willing to accept one-year deals, the more my respect for him grows, because he’s saying ‘I’ll go out there and perform.’ I like that.”.

Better Than 50 Percent Chance Kirk Cousins Leaves Washington This Year

... really starting to fall. …. “From what I hear, they’re not, in [Redskins Park], totally 100 percent sold on Kirk to give him the money that he could get,” Jeremiah said later. “So I don’t think they come to a long-term deal, and I don’t think they can really afford to franchise him next year for a third year.
