Debate over Kirk Cousins’s contract value, not keeping him

December 27 10:54 2015

Making first-year Bills head coach Rex Ryan’s defense look inept, and aided by a key fourth-down encroachment penalty, the Redskins scored TDs on each of their first three possessions of a game for the first time since September 1999, grabbing a 21-0 lead midway through the second quarter.

Ryan is at a crossroads, and he needs to start plugging the holes in his ship’s hull – before it’s too late.

His rookie contract expires after the season, and Washington wants to sign him to an extension, sources said, and would franchise him if need be, even at the cost of $19 million.

The Bills (6-8) are now assured of missing the playoffs for the 16th year in a row, the longest active drought in the NFL.

Behind that push has been the play of Kirk Cousins, who, like his team, emerged through the rubble of a positional mess to become the team’s best quarterback.

“I love driving back from FedEx Field and stopping at Shake Shack, partly because I love going through the city”, he said. And that’s what I addressed in talking with my agent. Watkins thinks the Bills “are close” but opined that players lack accountability from their teammates and coaches. I feel like we are getting stronger. “If I’m not doing my job, step to me and get me out of here”. The Bills got some positives out of this season so while it is a lost cause now, all they can do is wait until next year, and hope for different results. “No, not this year”, said Ryan, who is in his first season in Buffalo. We reached out to a couple people and tried to pull some string like, ‘Hey, I need my targets. Now, it’s expected that Woods will miss the Buffalo Bills ‘ final two games due to a groin injury.

“My mindset is, if you’re an attack defense, you don’t let anything else dictate what you do”, he said.

“Hopefully we can keep it rolling and give them something to cheer about into January”.

“I think it’s not just me; it’s something you develop between you and the receivers as you learn the offense as a whole”, Cousins said. “Once again, you saw the game and you’re trying to switch personnel as they’re coming out of the huddle”. We’re trying to switch men as they’re coming out of the huddle. “We expect him to be limited during the week, but we’ll see if there’s a possibility of him playing”. I don’t know, man. I don’t know who in the world is saying what personnel they’re in or how it’s that confusing but apparently it is because game in and game out….
