Interesting. It seemed obvious they weren't going to franchise Cousins or pay his asking price but this came out of nowhere. I think it's a good move for Washington depending on what they gave up. Something around the 44th overall pick makes sense to me.

I wonder where Cousins goes now. I'll guess the Broncos.

I did not even know you could trade at this time of season.

You can't, technically.

Rapoport says it'll be finalized tomorrow, though the article in The Star says something about March. I dunno.

Well, as a Chiefs fan, Alex Smith will give you blue balls. He'll look on point for half the game and then just shit the bed as the game goes on. In clutch moments, he never seems to come through.

If I had to guess, I'd say Smith just had the best year he'll ever have. And his best year is still just 26 TD passes.

Pretty sure he's wrong about tomorrow unless he just means they're going to finalize the terms of the deal then. They have to wait until the new league year to make it official.

It's good.

Oh my, there's also this

You can't make a trade until the new league year starts, which is usually the second week of March (?).

I don't know what to think of this trade other than Cousins is gone. I think Denver makes the most sense.

They already got an extension done too? Damn. Very curious to see how much they're going to pay him.

A shitload equivalent or more than what Cousins was offered

Will be curious to see how this goes because Cousins as much hype was around him was kind of okay. Tapered late in the season last 2 years.

 

[TNT87]

So the moves have begun. Never saw this coming at all.

 

[What the Faulk]

Seems about right. 2nd rounder and change.

 

[hockeykicker]

second round pick going to chiefs per reports

 

[Ol' Jase]

Jesus Christ, the Bills better be all over getting Cousins.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

I would not be thrilled about this if I were a WSH fan.

why? cousins obviously wasant staying, now we can get a defender at pick #13, dont have to wait around for cousins to choose someone else

 

[Avs_19]

A 2nd round pick being the main piece going back seems fine for both sides.

Washington screwed the whole situation up with the franchise tags but at least they stopped now instead of giving him $30M/yr.

 

[Cush]

This is just so..........Redskins.

 

[hockeykicker]

now its a 3rd rounder
