Terrell Pryor in for an interview. Would soften the blow losing Garcon and Jackson massively for me if we could get him.

I dont know about that really there is alot to like about trying to get Cousins this year for those teams.

Firstly they dont have to try to compete with teams in an open market. He's in a vacuum now and only a couple of teams can realistically trade for him. Giving up a first for a top 12 qb isnt alot.

He'll go to San Fran next year if it comes to that. I don't think there's much doubt, he loves Kyle Shanahan.

I honestly don't think we'd get anything more than a mid round pick or two for him from San Fran if we sorted a trade now. We've zero leverage. Made a massive mistake not signing him to a long term deal last summer.

McCloghlan officially out. The team are saying he was drunk in the facility and in the locker room.

And as usual, the whole thing has been handled awfully by the Redskins. I'm not saying there was an easy way to do it but everything about this reminds me of the 'good old days' when the Redskins were a clusterf@&k of an organisation (which has been every year since Snyder bought the team)

A lot of madness going on alright.

On Cousins, I really don't mind if he walks. I don't think it's a mistake I think the organisation as a whole doesn't trust him to lead the team under pressure. And while he's been good in spots I don't think he'll make us win.

At the moment it looks like Romo is bound to go to the Texans they just shipped Osweiler and look like they will send draft picks to Dallas. If we are going to miss out on Romo then fine we'll take Cousins and maybe sign him to a long term deal now between now and the season starting.

Morrison J · 10-03-2017 01:30PM

We need to secure Cousins long term and really should've done it last year when he was cheaper.

McCloughan wanted him signed up apparently but it's Snyder and Allen that don't. Two big ego's between them still have a chip on their shoulder after the RG3 trade didn't work. Whole organisation in a complete mess for a change.

We probably do need to sign him long term but I'm not 100% on him to be honest. I just wouldn't want the game in his hands with 2 minutes to go.

We have a real opportunity to address our running back woes with AP and Charles available.

But with all this McCloughlan **** going on more than likely we are just going to end up a shambles.

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman · 10-03-2017 02:09PM

I have a friend in Washington who works with the Post and he is 100% convinced that Cousins is going to the 49ers for three draft picks , this years first next years first and one to be agreed at a later date. I don't know why the 49ers would give that up especially after signing Hoyer but apparently it's close to being finalized. This is supposedly also on the back of Cousins's asking for the trade to happen.

Now the most frightening thing here is that it's Jay Cutler and not Tony Romo that is rumoured to be going to fill the void. If that happens then , f*** me that better not happen!

That's a crazy deal and I'd say there's no chance of them getting 3 picks, especially 2 first rounders for a guy who will be a free agent next year. I'd love it if it was true but I think someone's telling your mate a bullsh1t story.

Hindsight's great but this time last year he'd only played a handful of games and hadn't proven himself (and in my opinion he still hasn't!) and if he'd been poor this year they'd have been stuck with a dud and would end up like Houston with Osweiller.

I could be wrong but I think most people thought it was the sensible thing to franchise him last year even though it would prove to be more expensive if he was any way competent.

I think his salary demands are based on his desire to leave the team so it's unfortunate the way it's ended up but that's where we are. I just want it over and to see where we are going into the season.

I don't really know where the story is coming from but I presume its someone inside the Redskins.

I cant see it either. 2 picks maybe on an outside chance but apparently Shanahan is big on it happening this year.

jack presley · 10-03-2017 08:44PM

Talk of Mike Mayock of the NFL Network in the mix for GM job. As with most stories on Twitter, might be rubbish but he'd be an interesting choice. Presuming he'd only be evaluating talent and not involved in the financial side of things.

No further word on Tyrell Pryor was there?

Tyrell Pryor 1 year $8M with the redskins.

A bit of good news amongst all the carnage.

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman · 13-03-2017 04:18PM

Not sold on Prior to be honest but he had a very good year and was tough, played well and is athleticly gifted without a doubt. Still would have liked to see Garcon come back but not for the money San Fran are paying.

The Reservoir Dubs Anchorman · 13-03-2017 04:24PM

Cousins signed his tender.

Just thinking about whether it'll be worthwhile getting Gamepass next season.

5 primetime games plus another 4 in the late afternoon slot where there are usually only 2-3 games on so the chances are 2 of them will be on Sky. So that leaves 11 games and I know I'm away for one Sunday so as I don't watch much other programs on NFL Network (even Hard Knocks has lost its luster at this stage), I'd be paying €180 or whatever to watch around 9 games probably.

With the streaming options available I personally don't think it's worth it.

I loved that team. One of the first Super Bowls I stayed up for. The America's Team episode for that year is great too. I had it in DVR for years but when I left Virgin for Sky I lost it.

I know he's not that underrated but I still don't think Joe Gibbs gets enough credit for his 3 super bowl wins with 3 QBs.

I havent seen that episode of America's Team, cant wait to watch it now though!

They were a truly incredible team. So dominant.

They were 10-0 or 11-0 or something before they lost their first game.

There's a great scene in the show when they go through the Falcons play off game. They gave away seat cushions as souvenirs which in hindsight wasn't the best idea ever as they all got flung onto the pitch. And there was something about MC Hammer at that game too that I can't remember. He was a Falcons fan and was mouthing off before the game or something. I need to watch it again.

Watching it right now on youtube, brilliant so far.

How on earth did they pick them over the 1990 49ers who dominated during the season and then won the Superbowl 55-10.

Go and read the article on ESPN. It's well laid out and pretty definitive, the 91 Redskins as a total team, offence, defence and special teams were a good bit better than any other team.

Depressing story on SI.com about Clinton Portis and how he was on the edge of murdering one of his financial advisers who he felt had ripped him off.

He earned over $40m playing football but, like a lot of former players (see the Broke 30 for 30) went bankrupt after a lot of bad investments and dodgy accountants.

It's a good but sad read.
