ORIGINAL: David Levine Paul Allen (so take it with a boulder of salt): "Right before I left [Indy] yesterday, from somebody I really really trust, I was told Atlanta prefers Cousins over Fields and quite honestly it's not close." These reports are interesting. Even a wee bit encouraging. I just don't see anyway Kwesi and Kevin let go without a very hot and heavy wooing. Which in itself is discouraging. So I'll continue to 'prepare for the worst'. Just under two weeks. The best is Kirk returns for 2 years at $30 million a year or less, but if the report that Atlanta is all in on Kirk is true that will never happen. isn't there some way we can squeeze atlanta for a 2nd rounder in this deal?.... We can't franchise him. So, no. Interesting quotes from KOC(at the combine) when being interviewed by Daniel Jeremiah and Rich Eisen. Paraphrasing "Kirk has earned the right to be a FA" "We would like him back but other teams also bidding for his services." Good job on paraphrasing. Here is the quote: “I know (Cousins), where he’s at in this whole process. He’s earned the right to be a free agent and he’s played really good football,” O’Connell said. “… I know (Cousins is) going to go through a full process. He’s a process guy. And hopefully we continue to be a strong part in that process and we figure out a way to keep him a Minnesota Viking, but my expectation is we’re not going to be the only ones that would like Kirk Cousins to be the quarterback of our team in 2024.” The word 'process' never sounded so good. Bye Kirko! I can’t tell if that’s pure conviction or if there’s some salty bravado mixed in. You’ve been consistent on this for awhile. I’m convinced it makes no sense but the pillow talk media sessions lately from all three, Kwesi Kevin Kirk, leave me thinking if there’s a contract loophole to be found, the tryst will continue. I’m already disappointed anyway, whether we keep him or someone else swoops in and prys him away from our firm but smoothly moisturized grip. In his best Randy Moss voice... Pure Conviction Homey! Loopholes are exhausted. If anything, anti-loophole technicalities - such as his max allowable salary being $40 million - are front and center. All that remains at QB is who we pick and who, if anyone, might be brought in as a low cost bridge. LOL. I feel like we blundered into the offseason and still have not moved on from our main focus, Kirk and JJ. I doubt very much that is a cunning strategy to throw off our scent, no matter how good that Giorgio Armani Eau de Toilette smells. I don't want to be dogmatic about it ... we'll see what happens up through the draft ... but it gives me a big ol' chafing that our due diligence - at least up until this point - is probably researching prospects you can develop behind Cousins versus a critical and imminent decision for your franchise moving forward now. Its the difference between selling out to make something happen versus sitting at #11 and making the smartest choice of the options in front of you.
