Got a tip for us?

It's an (expensive) one year audition for Cousins, who has been wildly inconsistent.
He had 4,900 yards; 25 TDs; 12 INTs last season. If Washington didn't do this, I pretty much guarantee you that some other team would have paid his price. Who would the Redskins turn to after that?
That my friend is why you aren't a head coach or GM. [/sarcasm]
Except that is exactly what the Redskins did. They're not ready to dump franchise changing money on him.
I hate the skins so I hope he tanks this year! 
Just like the Texans paying for that guy that played at Denver.

I don't think he deserves big money either, lets see what happens this year.
[doublepost=1488392636][/doublepost]Everyone is getting tagged, JPP was tagged also but he wont play on a one year contract. Was hoping Miami could sign him.
I think Cousins is worth the money. QB market is thin and Washington can improve the offense if they continue to give him capable WRs to throw to. But with Garcon and Jackson possibly leaving for free agency, then it might be the final year for him in Washington.
Maybe he'll end up with Shanahan in San Francisco, down the road? Who knows.
He's 29...but still has time to be a consistent QB in the league.
In other news, Kaepernick opted out! Happy trails!

I don't know, I' not sold on Cousins. He's the best they can get in all likelihood but I don't think he's a franchise QB that will lift the team to the next level.
He can be very shaky at times, and at one point in the beginning of the last year it almost looked like he was losing the locker room. That seems to be a trend with him
True, but some of that I blame on the Redskins organization. It seems to rather dysfunctional at times.
Chris Long doesn't want to re-sign with the Pats, i wonder where he will end up
He's a tough one for me. Honestly I wish we could keep him, but considering Brady's health and productivity, it seems trading him makes sense for all parties. He's smart and accurate, he's my favorite of all Brady's backups the last decade. I think he'll be a good starter somewhere.
This is a dumb argument. Marino is not a world champion and will never be. Ever. So what?
The HOF is about stats and stats alone. TO should have been a first ballot HOFer but because the voters are sensitive and TO has largely been a douche, he wasn't put in. When character and likability becomes a requirement for enshrinement, fine, but it's not and his omission is pretty embarrassing for all involved. TO will be remembered as long as football is discussed because he was an elite receiver and will eventually be in the Hall of Fame with the Canton bust to go along with it.
His attitude and relationship with the media literally have nothing to do with his worthiness for Hall of Fame. Or do I need to mention all the bastards and jerks who currently have busts there?

Yup I guess Barry sanders was just another rb who is just stats and doesn't deserve first ballot hof status since he didn't get a ring lol.
Funny that murderers like ray Lewis and Marvin Harrison can easily get in but TO who has top 2-3 numbers ever for his position can't be considered because he did sit-ups at his house and the media penned him a nuisance. He almost by himself beat the patriots in the super bowl if his qb didn't choke and throw up on the field.
I think he wants to be with a team that will be a better fit, i.e., he wants to play more.
Yep, he played only on certain downs for the Pats, he won his ring now its time to pursue a more fulfilling role with another organization.
Interpretation :
Now that I have a SB ring I can hopefully charge more for my services.
Jets getting/got rid of their better players, because that will make them so much more competitive in the AFC East
With someone who will pay more for him than the Patriots did.
That's what Super Bowl rings do.
My guess is that there are a half dozen NFL teams that are willing to pay him more than the $2 million he made with the Patriots in the 2016-2017 season who have a legitimate chance of playing in the Super Bowl.

And that's why he signed for the Pats in the first place, I recall seeing some articles that his dad Howie, was against him joining the Patriots, saying it was a mistake. I think it was good move on his part. I have no problem seeing a player looking to cash in and increase his salary or increase his playing time and I think for Long both can happen.
