Patriot Killa Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Edit:https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2753513-kirk-cousins-would-reportedly-seriously-consider-playing-for-browns.amp.html Kirk Cousins is apparently not intimidated by the Cleveland Browns' quarterback graveyard. During an appearance on 92.3 The Fan on Wednesday, Albert Breer of the MMQB reported Cousins would "seriously consider" the Browns if he hit free agency (h/t Kyle Kelly of Browns Wire). Cousins, 29, could be an unrestricted free agent in March if he's unable to reach a contract agreement with Washington. He has played each of the last two seasons under the franchise tag, making the potential for a third tag seem unlikely. Washington would have to pay Cousins $34.5 million under the franchise tag. The transition tag, which would require a $28 million salary, is also a possibility. Washington coach Jay Gruden told Dan Steinberg of the Washington Post he does not want Cousins back on another one-year deal. "I think something has to be done. I personally don't want to go through another one-year deal, and just [keep going] one year, one year," Gruden said. "I think you want to have a quarterback in here that's going to be here. And hopefully that is Kirk, and if not, we have to move on and do what we have to do as an organization. "For the most part, the great quarterbacks are in the same system year in and year out, and are developing in that system. [Teams are] not holding our breath every March and April, waiting for the guy. But if that's the case, that's the case. But we like Kirk and his development. He's played well at times, without a doubt, proven that he's a good starting NFL quarterback." Cousins threw for 4,093 yards and 27 touchdowns against 13 interceptions during the regular season. He saw his numbers markedly decline from his Pro Bowl campaign in 2016, with his QBR dropping more than 16 points. In December, Cousins completed just 56.7 percent of his passes and posted a 75.0 passer rating to complete a 7-9 season on a low note. When you're 7-9, you know it's hard to say, 'Wow, this guy really was outstanding,'" Gruden told reporters. "Kirk had his flashes where he was really good. From a consistent standpoint, over the course of 16 games, you know we're 7-9." The Browns have started 27 different quarterbacks since coming back to the NFL in 1999. DeShone Kizer started 15 games in 2017, posting an NFL-low 60.5 quarterback rating and throwing an NFL-high 22 interceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel like this is him letting Washington know that he can be had for a high price by anyone who will offer and so they better step their game up at the negotiation table.

JoJoTownsell1 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Everyone laughs at the browns because that's what you guys are programmed to do. But the Browns could draft Barkley and an OL in top ten, to go along with njoku, Josh Gordon and Corey Coleman an then spend the rest of their cap money on more pieces and become a playoff team overnight with cousins. They also have Myles Jarrett and a few nice pieces on defense. I'd rather be a Browns fan today than a skins fan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDL_JET Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I'm telling you. He wants be looked as a savior for a team, where the fan base loves him. Cousins will go to the Browns over the Jets, be successful and the Jets will be the new Browns without the top picks because they're too busy riding the mediocre wave. The off season is long.

HawkeyeJet Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 I think you could make a legitimate argument that Cousins, Saquon Barkley and whatever at 4(OT? Chubb to go with Garrett? CB?) makes could be just as good, if not better, than drafting a QB at 1 and hoping he pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redundancy at the most expensive positions is a franchise’s dream. JMHT but alot of you guys really oversell the number of garaunteed years Cousins is going to get out of this deal. 3 max, my guess is two for the teams that can afford it, before the deal really gets team friendly should he prove worth keeping. If someone offers more then they can have him, but this is the NFL so expect some totally not collusion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going with cousins or maybe Alex Smith is their best bet to getting back to being relevant and changing that culture. Instead of having everyone wait to see how the drafted QB will screw up and be a failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they make some good decisions in Free Agency and have a good draft, they can easily make the playoffs next year. If I would have told people before the season that the Rams would win 11 games this year, they would have laughed. The Browns are poised to be far more talented next year.

CrazyCarl40 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 The Browns have some pieces but Josh Gordon can’t she counted on, the running backs are nothing to write home about, and the rest of the receivers are hot garbage. The offensive line isn’t all that good either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LionelRichie Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Browns are drafting a QB at 1 so the point is moot. But everyone is burying the lede. If cousins will play in Cleveland then he’ll play for the Jets. That’s the real takeaway here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
