They may tag Garoppolo, but eventually they'll come to a long term deal with no acrimony like there was between Cousins and Washington's front office. Can't put the genie back in the bottle. Cousins blew up the tag strategy at least for QB's. You play 2 years under the tag at top 5 QB average plus 20% and then you're essentially a free agent. His agent won't let him sign for less than market value, which right now looks like $30m per year with $90m in guarantees. The franchise tag doesn't work as a team bargaining chip any more. All it does is set a floor for the player that increases 20% every year.

The agent works for the client not the other way around and Cousins has even said he's more focused on signing with the right team vs. maximizing the amount of money he can get as a UFA.

Exactly, he wants a long term deal with a good franchise, he isn't going to just go to the highest bidder. The Redskins did most of the league a favour by paying him on the franchise tag for a few years where he made some big money, now he just wants some job/financial security of getting a long term deal done with a team so he doesn't have to go through this every year. This may give a team like the Bills a chance they wouldn't have had if he was going to the highest bidder, or the Broncos who might have tight cap space. Like usual though, it pretty much eliminates the Browns

The agents job is to find out what his clients' market value is. If Cousins or Garropolo take less than that, it makes the agent look bad. Yes, they can take less than market value, but why would you accept less than market value from a team with $110m in cap space? Nobody is that stupid.

The 49ers sign a long term answer at QB to the richest contract in the NFL, but then trade him away immediately amirite? 1
BringBackFergy Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 Unless Jim G's contract has a "no trade clause" this thread survives. Granted, we'll be in cap hell if we take on his $137 million contract, but I'm sticking with the Facebook story.
K D Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 he must not have liked the meatballs in Lackawanna
HappyDays Posted February 8, 2018 Posted February 8, 2018 And people here are worried about paying Kirk Cousins?? 5 games and he is the highest paid player ever.
