washington is a 7-9 or 8-8 team if cousins has a down year

nick foles threw 27 TDs to 2 INTs in a season once too

Cousins will come back to earth some no doubt, but the rest of the team is quite solid and has gotten better since last year even before Norman. McCloughan also drafts really well so I expect some improvement there as well. They'll be good even without an insane year from Cousins.

I have no ill will towards josh at all and will root for him in any game that does not affect the panthers playoff chances. I wish it could have worked for him to stay, but it seems to be what both sides wanted. Time will tell whether or not he will regret leaving a good situation for the higher paycheck.

You would think after losing the Super Bowl we'd have a lot more humble fans, but some of you still come off over cocky and arrogant. Redskins aren't some pushover team there on the rise and just like a lot of NFC teams are a few lives away from being consistently competitive.

You realize you're talking about the redskins, right?

This happens in the real world all the time and people don't get this damn salty about it. People leave for pay raises all the time. This is about setting him and his family up for life. He was holding the winning lotto ticket and he cashed it in. Hell, I would take the extra 35 million. I can't be pissed at a man for doing the exact same thing I would.

It is funny seeing people say "It's not about the money."  That's what it seemed to be about, but that is fine
Josh was a great guy in the locker room from what I could tell, and left it all out on the field.  He played out his contract and wanted what he deemed himself to be worth and possibly even more.  I can't blame him. 

I'll hate to see him go, but just like with Smith we'll move on (hopefully not the same start as that season...but you get the point)

Uhh.......  Yeah.      Redskins will probably be in the playoffs also.    it's not like he joined the Browns or the Jags. 

 

5yr...........  $75/M.................  4 yr.............. $44M.           I mean,  even if he took a pay cut for us and a miracle happened and we actually did win the SB,  that dude would still be giving up over $30M.           I know a few fans seem to think that money shouldn't matter,  and the players should take whatever,  in an effort to get a SB ring.      A SB ring isn't gonna help pay the bills 20 years from now,  unless they sell that SB ring.  lol.

40 million with a ring (or two) or 50 million without one.......  Endorsements with a SB ring vs endorsements without one.....  Playing with Cam Newton and Luke Kuechly or playing with.......  sorry I cannot come up with something that even comes close.

 

 

Sorry to do this but... it was 4 years and 44 mil from us. VS. 5 years and 75 mil from them. That is a difference of...um...let me think...yeah, 31 mil.

 

Hellz, the 31 mil difference alone is enough for him not to have to worry about no stinkin' endorsements.

one detail of this i've always wondered about...

is the guaranteed money paid all at once?  like does he get a check (or direct deposit, whatever) on redskins' stationary for $50 milliion?  is it paid in installments or is it structured in some other way?  i'd imagine whatever the signing bonus accounts for is paid up front but what about the rest?  is there a "rest"?

 

The guarantee, and signing bonus, are paid up front.

    • Yeah and he succeeded at an even higher level in LA with an even better surrounding cast. Goff is a guy that isn't really able to dramatically elevate players around him but he can make a good situation even better. He is capable of that. Some QB's aren't. I am not sure Dak is able to do that and he is in a similar "class" as Goff, IMO.
    • i think i could handle that for a year. beyond that....i don't know.  back where we lived, when we had a few inches of snow, it might have been a couple feet because we weren't getting out and doing anything. i remember times where power would go out for days on end. we had propane and electric heat, depending on the floor. basement (had a couple bedrooms and a living room and kitchen down there) and main floor had gas logs. main floor gas logs was enough to take care of the upstairs, so we could stay warm and cook on the grill when we needed. we had a well so that was always an issue when the power went out. had to make sure tubs were filled with water for the toilets and we had gallons of water for drinking and cooking available. always had to make sure we were ready. that wasn't always the case. we had a couple moments where we were going through propane quickly and because we were dealing with the worst propane company in the world (amerigas) they wouldn't get out to put gas in our 900 gallon tank. made for some nerve racking moments.  i know y'all were probably a lot more able to handle that kind of thing, but after the little bit (comparatively) that we got here i just have no desire to get trapped again. maybe for a day or two a year get snowed in and i'm good.
    • I think he is just drawing a DC to them line and that's about as far as his thought process went. It makes almost no sense outside of that. Also, it doesn't make sense for Pittsburgh or Seattle at this juncture either.  I think our "veteran" pool is basically gonna be the Dalton/Flacco tier or the "pick your poison" options of young busts(Jones/Z. Wilson) or wild, TO prone gunslingers(Darnold/Winston/etc). We have the option to pursue I genuinely believe(depending on the way the rest of this season goes), we either draft a QB in the top 10 or resign Dalton. Outlier third option on taking one of the wild gunslingers that Dave feels like he can work with.
