Alex Smith traded to Washington

- Start date

I don't see the Jets having a chance. I think he goes to Broncos.
Kendall Fuller is reportedly the player included in the trade. Top ranked slot defender for 2017 seems like a bad trade for washington .But only time will tell

I'm not sure that Denver can afford him. They don't have much cap space and their roster is quickly aging out. Lots of players to consider replacing . They are set up for an immediate run but not the long run which is something Cousins mentioned in his interview today.
So good QBs cost $
Smith gets a four-year, $94 million contract extension with $71 million guaranteed.
Cousins isn't a bum or a washed up retread.
He's in his prime and ready now. Top passing stats the last 3 years , how could you not want the guy ?
Id be very dissatisfied if the Jets don't spend and go after him
But Ofcourse these are the Jets :global (11):so I really don't expect it to happen

Is Washington ready to win now? But i guess old "Mr Smith is going to Washington":global (11):
OK, so now we've moved from bad puns to movie references? I'm not sure if that is going up or going downward. :global (21):

He is not a bum, but he could be mediocre if not in the perfect spot. Not sure the Jets are close to what Cousins needs to be successful. I've watched a few games that he has been amazing and way more games that he has been average to bad especially in primetime games. Not worth the money he will get, but Jets and Browns are desperate to be relevant. He could succeed with Jags or Vikings because they have dominant defenses so he doesn't have to be great. Jets and Browns ceiling is barely a wildcard and more than likely a lot of 8-8 seasons.

You make some sense here TebowCan'tThrow. It's safe to say that the Jets offense might not be in the best shape to give him what he needs to be successful. On the other hand if we bring him in we will be able to bring in the players we need to give him that supporting cast that he needs because we won't need to spend our top picks on a QB. He has said publicly a couple of times that he would like to play in the NY limelight .He likes Bates. He was probably talking about the NY Giants though and until their recent head coach change were also in the market for a QB. Shurmer however seems content to run with Eli for the present. Maybe he thinks a rebuilding, young, hard working team gives him a chance at finally taking that next step that has been unreachable to him so far. Stranger things have happened. It's a matter, I think, of how much the Jets are willing to pay and will the Skins try to take the team choice away from him by using the tag again which would be just out of spite because they know he wants to leave.
I can't see Washington trying to tag him to control where he goes. The risk is too great. They would be stuck paying him and Smith a combined $63.5 million . No team will give up 2 first round picks and $34.5 million for a one year rental. That would set Washington so far back they likely wouldn't sniff the playoffs for years. I'd feel bad for Smith though.
He did just make very similar comments about the NY media, playing in a big market, liking Bates and hearing very good things about him from people he trusts , more concerned with the future than winning now just a day or two ago at the Super Bowl media event.
I think he is keeping his options open and his wallet open even more.
I wouldn't be surprised if the Jets try to land Cousins plus another big FA or two.
Both Mac and Chris Johnson have said that they would be very aggressive in free agency.
Last year MAC had little money to spend but he has give some large FA contracts out and Cousins could very well be just what he needs to save his job.

Bye your#8 jersey now. Lol
Bovada has the odds at:
Jets 8/5
Denver 7/4
Cousins has said many times in his career how much he loves Shanahan's O. Shanahan just said what a brilliant person Bates is. Cousins just said almost the exact same thing, he had heard about Bates. Bet he's talking to Shanahan. He also said that it was more than money. He wants to play in a system he likes with smart coaches.
Jets are installing Shanahan's system. Don't think that's an accident.
Expect an offer in the area of 6 years...$150M....$90m guaranteed.....Heavy front loaded

Yep, kinda like I see it too. Tagging him would only be spiteful as I said and ridiculously expensive for them. Some people believe that Washington doesn't want him but it's actually the other way around. The odds makers say that the Jets are his most likely landing spot but the Vikings already have a winning team and that is something that appeals to him as well.
Hey don't forget the Cardinals...They won it all in 47:global (10): I still say 30% chance Cousins lands on one of my teams
Sure hope he is worth it. His stats and record say he is not.

Want a chance at a SB, then go to the Vikings. Want to be immortal, win a SB with the Jets.

I thought about them and then dismissed them because if it comes down to which team has the most money to offer the Jets win.
The media consensus seems to be that the Jets and Broncos will be the two biggest players for Cousins. I personally think he winds up in Denver, all things being equal. If we can get him, great. If he lands in Denver, then one of the top QBs will fall to us. Then it's a question of whether Mac wants one of the Qbs or has another player ranked higher. It's going to be an interesting offseason.
