YoloinOhio Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I heard this is done deal as well as Mccarron to Browns. Not sure how the trade is going down with Denver but hearing it is a sign and trade and involves aqib Talib.
dave mcbride Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Von Miller is already talking it up. Good trade for both sides.
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Kind of strange that these things are happening so quickly. You would think someone else could potentially swoop in and raise the stakes since anything announced is not official. Just now, dave mcbride said: Von Miller is already talking it up. Good trade for both sides. Trade? Interesting, does that mean they would have to sign him first since he's a free agent?

That makes a lot of sense, and partly explains why they felt comfortable with trading Fuller. I still wouldn't like the way it all went down if I were a Redskins fan but it's a little better now.
Shaw66 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I don't get it. Did the Redskins cut Cousins? If not, he can't be talking to Denver; it violates his contract with Washington. It's tampering. And if they DID cut him, doesn't Denver talking to him violate the free agency rules? What am I missing? 4

26CornerBlitz Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Haven't seen this on Cowherd's feed or that of his show. No other NFL "insider" has anything on this either.

What am I missing? I thought that since Cousins was under contract last season that in turn means he is not able to negotiate until March. I thought working trades at this point was against the spirit of the rules. Oh well, I might learn something new today.

He isn't under contract until he's franchised and he's signed. It may be true, but it seems kind of odd in this situation.

NickelCity Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 Has always been my (and many others') assumption that Kirk will sign with Denver. With Smith gone, the FA cupboard isn't looking inspiring.

Shaw66 Posted January 31, 2018 Posted January 31, 2018 I would also expect Cousins to do his search more deliberately than this. Washington didn't tell him to look for a deal until they locked up Smith, at least I wouldn't think so, so that means Cousins made a decision really fast. Maybe he knew all along.
