KC open to being traded

Kirk Cousins open to being traded by Washington Redskins - ESPN

this might be more a reality then we thought

I don't see how cousins' opinion has any impact whatsoever. Either they get the value they want in exchange or they don't.

its the 1stb time he has said that . that appears to be a guy who wants out and a chance to start

If it's anonymous league sources, not a public statement on the issue, and also not a "seeking a trade", I don't draw the same conclusion. It sounds like someone asked him and he said something along the lines of "I'd be ok with that".

If he was unhappy, you're damn sure ESPN would be selling that.

didnt say he was unhappy , said he wants a chance to start and that a trade could be closer then we think

If we do trade Cousins do you think we draft a QB like Tajh Boyd with a 5th or 6th rounder

i dont know . what i do know is gruden doesnt have a vested interest in any "pick value " the shanny's and the fan base may have placed on him . so it could be easier to trade him

if we do trade him i expect we will sign a vet qb , (perhaps older ) rather then draft one . of course we will have 4 qbs in camp

He may be open to it (that shouldn't be any surprise, is it?) but it doesn't mean the team is. At some point, KC is more valuable to us as a back up than as a potential draft pick. I put that at about a 3rd round pick. If that's all we can get, might as well keep him. If we can get a second or more, trade him.

Knowing KC, it was probably even more innocent than that. He was probably asked and his answer was something along the lines of my ultimate goal is to be a starter and if they decide to trade me, it just means that I get my chance sooner rather than later, blah, blah, blah.........

i think all you will get is a 3rd rounder and depending on what slot it is it could be worth it .

That's right on the border for me. I guess if it was a high 3rd, I would consider it.

if he doesnt have a future here then get something for him . if we get a 3rd for him we still gain from him .

right now if i am a GM i will pay no more then a 3rd for him .

he is 1-3 as a starter

he is a career 56% passer has 8 tds vs 10 ints and he still has the same penchant for throwing ints that he did at MSU .

and he has a career 68.2 passer rating which is pedestrian


the browns have a shot at the best qb in the draft at #4 overall so KC is a guy looking to be a BU there at some point again

if i am the browns i pick a qb at 4 and bring in the cheap grossman in as the BU rather then give up a 1st 2nd or maybe even a 3rd for KC i bring in wheedon and hoyer in as competition as well

if i am the skins i would look at hoyer

 

[Buffalo_Nickel_1]

No way'you trade him for a 3rd I take 2 picks a 3rd and 6th maybe

you arent getting that from the browns unless its a conditional pick the other teams , who knows ?

i would say less . because the cost to pick a qb isnt as big a blow as it was before .

and what did KC show ? he was supposed to be better then RG3 . he was supposed to be further along yet his numbers didnt come close to stacking up . in fact they were pedestrian

I believe that pt. # 5 is the key. Cousins is not the type to make a lot of noise about not playing and become a distraction. Given the question marks for RG3 it would therefore make sense to keep him on the team unless you get an offer that you cannot refuse (2nd rd or higher). No doubt the morons from ESPN & the WP would blow this out of proportion.

If they trade him & need a vet backup - how about this guy?

Why not? He could play both RT and QB. Hell, Rex isn't that much smaller at this point.
