Chris Cooley said on the radio this morning that Cousins wants to be a Redskins. He just wants a commitment from the team that he is their franchise QB and a long term deal would do that. Cooley has a personal relationship with Cousins so its not speculations on Cooley's part.
Cousins asking for outrageous money just to get out of town doesn't seem likely but he can be insulted by a deal at or below the Osweiler deal, for example. Also, if negotiations break down, and the Skins have to tag Cousins again, then the outrageous money to get traded will be a real possibility next year.
Cousins has the leverage but the Skins control his rights for the next two years. Losing him for nothing is not possibility for two more years. So the Skins can explore trades if they feel they need to.
8 years for 148m. 64m guaranteed. That beats Osweilers contract in every manner, and shows Kirk long term commitment.
Again -- Do you think something like that is a poor offer?
