Well, if the 49'ers want Cousins, then they are likely going to have to give up an arm and a leg to get him from Washington, so I wouldn't call Washington dead just yet. Plenty of reason to think Washington might 1) come out of this with a good haul in return 2) Might actually not trade Cousins cause the 49'ers aren't willing to pay up.
I mean, technically Cousins has most of the leverage, and if he;s decided that he wants to play for Shanahan then Washington is fairly limited in what it can do to stop him. Cousins could just not show up till the very last moment for Washington unless they trade him. Plenty of ways to force that trade. But the 49'ers aren't going to get him for nothing so Washington still has some sway in this. I mean, Washington could also just decide that if it doesn;t get enough in return that it;s just going to play hardball and force Cousins to show up for the season or sit out the year.
This could turn into some ridiculous drama, even without Tony Romo involvement, but as long as there's nothign official I'm just going to assume that Cousins plays fro Washington this season.
Myles Garett should just pull off the Eli Manning move and try to go to another franchise...
Yeah people are beating the "get AP" drum on seahawks twitter if <$4m
fuck no
Jamaal Charles if anyone.
Another TE off the board as Vernon Davis re-signs with Redskins, reportedly 3-years $15M deal.
Brandon Marshall agrees to two-year, $12M deal with Giants. Interesting.

Pierre Garcon is going to the 49ers and is apparently signing a contract that will pay him $16 Mil his first year. Holy shit that's insane. I love Pierre but that's crazy money.

Happy with this. He could probably still start for most teams but for us he's a damn good backup and we need a good one as Jordan Reed as good as he is is quite injury prone.
That's pretty much a guarantee then that the Giants won't make the playoffs this year.
BM has managed to miss the playoffs every single year of his career, despite some 10-6 seasons. He's cursed.
Garcon at 16 million, even if it's just one year is ludicrous. The rest of his deal must be like 5 million a year to make that first spike worth it. If this is how Lynch is building his team, then he's clueless.

Although.
What if they are overpaying for Garcon, in an attempt to make Cousins buck the attempts Washington is making to keep him? 49'ers now have one of his trusted receivers, and Washington is watching both of his receivers walk. Must be an added temptation to go to the bay.
I retract what I said, overpaying for Garcon may actually be a really shrewd move. IF they can land Cousins that is.

Oh wow.
"The #Lions and OT Ricky Wagner have agreed in principle on a contract, source said. It will eclipse $9M per year, setting a new market."

He's indeed gone, @Skayaq.

Bills apparently just let news go out that they are keeping Tyrod Taylor on a restructured contract. Every reporter is seemingly coming out with it now, so must have been some semi-official team tweet going out.

Aaaaaaaand apparently sources have told Schefter that Romo will be released on Thursday.
Things are heating up.
49ers have loads of cap space this year, why not front-end deals and take advantage of it?
The Tyrod Taylor restructure tells me that the Bills are shooting for a wild card spot. A day or so ago the Bills facebook page linked an article titled something along the lines of " can the Bills sneak into the playoffs like the Dolphins did?" Myself, and most other responses thought that was a pretty chicken shit thing (however realistic) to post (the goal should be set higher than barely squeaking into the playoffs).
With that said, the offense, though bad at times, scored enough points last year, Team Ryan just destroyed a great defense. We'll see what new coaching can do with the players they have.
Also, I wonder what the odds are Marcel Dareus gets another suspension.

Hoyer to the 49'ers on a 2 year deal. Seems Washington can keep Cousins.....FOR NOW.
If they don't extend Cousins pronto, then he's gone next year, probably the 49'ers, who will gladly drop Hoyer again next year should Cousins come available.
Falcons signed QB Matt Schaub to a 2 year deal worth 9 million. That's kinda cheap, given what some QB's are getting.
We cut Doom. It was expected that he would either restructure or get cut, given his drop in production the last two seasons and we save $6M in cap space.
