Still holding out hope for a LTD though. Love Kirk, but my stance remains the same. Under no circumstances do I tag Kirk and keep him. LTD or tag and trade. This ordeal has run it's course imo.
If we do a tag and trade, I will go on record as saying I dont think we get a 1st rounder for him. No team is going to deal for him without a long term deal in place. No team is going to make him an offer if they think the Skins would be even tempted to match it.
Much like Champ Bailey, the Skins have passively made it known that they probably dont want to Keep Cousins, thus lowering his trade value. Elway is a very smart GM. If he targets Cousins, he will try and talk Bruce down to a 2nd and 3rd rounder or tell Bruce to enjoy paying Cousins $35M for a one year rental. Most of the team that WOULD pony up the money AND the trade capitol, are probably places Kirk wont entertain.
They have screwed this all the way around unless they come out and sign Cousins long term basically admitting they were wrong.
