Propose someone better if you don't like him and Cousin's leaves.

If true, this would also mean the Skins are likely planning to draft a QB as Smith is on the last year of his contract.

Also would mean that Bruce and company are willing to get nothing back for Cousins, because you cant trans tag him with Smith in the house. And you can not franchise tag Kirk with Smith counting $14.5M against the cap.

So who wants to bet we gave up at least the 3rd rounder to get Smith??

 

[chillerdab]

Holy god, was that dumb.

 

[skinzfan]

how many first round draft picks did the Redskins throw in to seal the deal.

Reports are player and picks. NFL network

Already extended him 4 more years

 

[Iggloo]

Wow. No need to draft any receivers now!

 

[Golden Spur]

I come in peace to your board. Didn't see that coming.

 

[kbso83432]

I would have rather had Kirk on a LTD but Kirk just wasn't going to sign one. I'm still waiting to see what we gave up. Waiting for that shoe to fall.

So the only reason to do this is cost savings?

Jesus fucking Christ. Seriously?? So they would rather a 34 year old QB to just saying.. we were wrong.

Bruce is the smartest man on the planet.

Rumor is its a 2nd rounder plus possibly more...that is absolutely god awful if true

 

[chillerdab]

ehb, where'd you hear that rumor?

A second rounder AND a player?!?!?!
