Kirk Cousins and the Washington Native Peoples have broken off contract talks -- (link) - crash davis Feb 16, 13:58 26
- Meh, franchise him and let him do it twice. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 14:00 9
  - when Russell and the 'hawks went through this, there never came a point when they quit talking - crash davis Feb 16, 14:03 8
    - They never had to exactly. Russell was a stud from Day 1...and by the time it was time to settle up the tab, they knew he was a Franchise QB. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 14:04 7
      - If they franchise, they basically need to cut RG3 the same day right? -- nm - MDH Feb 16, 14:07 5
        
        I've got a better chance of being on the Redskins roster come St. Patty's day than RG3 does. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 14:08 3
        
        so you're saying I have a chance? -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 14:11 2
        
        You got a pulse? - Will Hunting Feb 16, 14:13 1
        
        I'm in better shape than Eddie Lacy (but he is still faster) -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 14:13
        
        he's gone regardless -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 16, 14:08
      - decent point, and to be fair to the Native Peoples, I have no idea what Cousins is asking -- nm - crash davis Feb 16, 14:06
- LOL Washington. When they lose Morris the fans will be further pissed. -- nm - MDH Feb 16, 14:00 9
  - Morris seemed to fall out of favor this season anyway, so I think he's moving on. -- nm - David Feb 16, 14:02 7
    - With the org. defintely, but he's a fan favorite. -- nm - MDH Feb 16, 14:04 6
      - He might be my favorite non-Falcon, but it's clear Gruden isn't a fan. -- nm - David Feb 16, 14:10 5
        
        And it's likely Morris has lost a step; he got used up pretty solidly his first 3 years and isn't showing the same burst now. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 14:12 4
        
        I suspect that if Dallas signs him as rumored, he'll have a monster year. -- nm - David Feb 16, 14:21 1
        
        Their line is better. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 14:27
        
        Oh I agree. I like him, will be sad, but it's correct. I'm just saying there's a lot of angry fans soon. -- nm - MDH Feb 16, 14:13 1
        
        Well, these fans should applaud the Redskins being smart. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 14:14
  - Danny gonna dan -- nm - sweet baboo Feb 16, 14:02
- Franchise Tag here he comes. -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 13:59 5
  - they're gonna pay him almost $20 million? bwahahahaa -- nm - ML Feb 16, 14:00 2
    - Tannehill is making 19mil avg; Flacco is at 20...Cutler is at 18mil -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 16, 14:02 1
      - In fairness, at least RG3's contract comes off the books to help fund it. -- nm* - ML Feb 16, 14:06
  - At $20M for the first year, no way. -- nm - MDH Feb 16, 14:00 1
    - then he's gone and they got nothin' -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 14:00

Ilove how the haters still think the Pats were guilty in the face of every ounce of evidence to the contrary and none to their guilt... - Beaker Feb 16, 13:21 14
- I mean I'd be pissed and looking for nefarious reasons if one team consistently womped up on the league for 15 years, too. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 16, 13:57
- Remember, the judge didn't say there was no evidence of guilt, just that Goodell's process was wrong. -- nm - Elvis Feb 16, 13:46 2
  - and since then science has backed up everything the Pats said and also the NFL tracked PSI all season but refuse to release the results. -- nm - Beaker Feb 16, 13:55
  - The judge also knows he's not there for guilt or innocence; he's being asked about overturning a collectively bargained process. - Will Hunting Feb 16, 13:48
