Cousins would "seriously consider" the Browns
-
Similar to the Smith deal....all done but the signing on the date they can.
Except the league year is not over so as of now Cousins is still a WSH employee and any talking to him is considered "illegal tampering" under league rules. There is a "legal tampering" period a day or so before the official start of the league year... and there's a more relaxed view of "conversations" with agents as that day approaches, but this is way outside that timing.
So it can't be "similar".
Thinking more on it... either WSH has filed paperwork to release Cousins or they've given permission to teams to talk to their employee.

a team could still trade for him so why can't it be similar

Similar to the Smith deal....all done but the signing on the date they can. And I had heard about the Vikings potential interest on Golic/Wingo.
I believe all 3 of the Vikings qb's are free agents this year maybe we can choose from their left overs ?
YAWN.

Idiot fukcking Browns fans going through more mental masturbation....inventing Browns football moves that have abso-Shmucking-lutely no chance of even being considered.....let alone happening.
Seriously, don't you jackoffs get tired pf dping this same.schidt year after year after year?
Is reality that fukcing hard for you to accept?
NOBODY OF ANY TALENT WANTS TO COME TO SCHIDTHOLE cleveland.
Myels Garrett made goddamned video offering fellatio to Jerry Jones to rescue him. A top rated college qb threatened to stay on college rather than come.to schidt hole-land.
Meanwhile. You jackoffs believe Cleveland is a mover-shaker.......top franchise.
Do you hear players objecting to any other city?
But hey..........go ahead.....pretend that Cleveland is a really.cool place. EVERYONE wants to play on Cleveland. LMAO.
I imagine this is why.the Browns continue to draft.schidt like Garrett and Coleman. Top.guys won't play here.
The Cleveland Browns have the hardest hit players in the NFL -
YAWN.

For someone giving up the NFL you seem strangely obsessed with the Browns.

A little Skin Bracer for the Cousins optimists...
... Cousins can pick his destination. Sure, the Browns have the most money, but unless they come in way over what other suitors are willing to pay him, Cousins will likely not choose the Browns. Last year, Tony Jefferson chose the Ravens over the Browns in free agency for less money because he wanted to have a better chance at the playoffs.
Cousins told New York radio station WFAN on Tuesday he wants to go to a winner.
“Winning is everything, especially at this stage of my career,” Cousins said. “I’m going into Year 7. Because I’ve been franchise-tagged twice, it’s not about the money so much. It’s about winning. I want to win.
“This isn’t the NBA," he said. "You can’t just get one player and now you’re in the AFC championship game or NFC championship game. There are other pieces that come into play.”

But on the other hand ochocinco says we're a lock... so y'all got that going for you...

Jags extended Bortles so they are out of the running.

As the main guy fighting off the salary cap hawks in favor of Cousins, I think I'm out after the Smith trade. Smith netted a 3rd and a premium young corner. You would have to think the redskins are looking at that and thinking they can atleast get a 1st for Cousins, if not more. I would love to have Cousins but if we have to give up a pick in the top 3 rounds I would much rather look at a free agent like Bridgewater. Worse come to worse we start the rookie or we let Kizer take the lumps next year

49ers already have their guy. Are Jets really much better if at all than Browns if "winning is the goal? Vikings...yes...but will they prefer to stick with what they know in Keenum/the Twat etc.
Bills have what is supposed to be a good defense...so they could be in their with Broncos....but both, as you say, would have to shuffle cap space.

Washington would have to sign him or give him the 34 million tag to trade him. So there will be no compensation given up to get Captain Kirk except for the exorbitant amounts of money he will demand, worth it or not

Jags extended Bortles so they are out of the running.
Where would I sign up?

Link? Not finding that news anywhere...
JAX was pretty well committed when Bortles just put his wrist under the knife which fully guaranteed his 5th-year-option, 2018 contract. Well played, Mr. Bortles.

NOBODY OF ANY TALENT WANTS TO COME TO SCHIDTHOLE cleveland.
Myels Garrett made goddamned video offering fellatio to Jerry Jones to rescue him. A top rated college qb threatened to stay on college rather than come.to schidt hole-land.
Meanwhile. You jackoffs believe Cleveland is a mover-shaker.......top franchise.
Do you hear players objecting to any other city?
But hey..........go ahead.....pretend that Cleveland is a really.cool place. EVERYONE wants to play on Cleveland. LMAO.
I imagine this is why.the Browns continue to draft.schidt like Garrett and Coleman. Top.guys won't play here.

Money talks. Period.

It's more than money. There's at least 5 teams who can make Cousins one of the highest paid players in the game, and they have enough cap space. Even if they don't, they can still move crap around, cut veterans (sound familiar?), and generate the necessary room to absorb the massive contract. So while money is a giant factor, it doesn't necessarily give US any advantage. I'll just make up some numbers. Say the Browns offer him $24 million a year for 8 years. That's a big effing contract! Surely Cousins would take it, right?! But wait...The New York Jets and Denver Broncos offer $22 million for 8 years. Well, the Browns offered more money, so surely we'll get the prized QB!! I mean, right? RIGHT?!
No. No. No. No. No.....NO. For example, remember that free safety we threw that giant contract at last year? You know, because we DIDN'T HAVE ONE ON THE EFFING ROSTER. We made, by far, the best offer. So surely he accepted it....NOPE. He went to the Ravens. Which is just awesome. Why on earth would he turn down several million dollars A YEAR? Because we're US. We're the worst team in the history of the entire NFL. Let that sink in for a bit. The worst team in the universe doesn't get the prized free agent QB.

The rewards for being in one freaking wild card game since 1999 (0-1 vs pizzburg yet) and recently going 1-31 ALMOST 0-32 and 0-16 with miserable detroit.
Put the sign out FREE AGENTS WELCOME , and reasonable rates at the Motel 6 with free breakfast.

The thing is, it's not like Jacksonville was thought of as much better until this season't turnaround.
It can be done.
