Kirk Cousins was willing to sign long-term with Washington for $20 million a year
Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins would have signed a multi-year deal with the team last offseason if offered $20 million per year, reports Yahoo's Charles Robinson via multiple sources familiar with the negotiations.
What It Means:
Per usual, Washington's front office messed up, with Robinson saying fingers are being pointed at team president Bruce Allen. They wouldn't offer Cousins more than $16 million annually during last year's negotiations, yet they are going to pay him a combined $44 million in guarantees between the 2016 and 2017 seasons -- all the while increasing the likelihood he walks in free agency next offseason.
Cousins earned the sixth-most Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back among the 39 quarterbacks to drop back at least 100 times in 2016. Washington also had the sixth-best offense in the NFL last season, according to schedule adjusted Offensive NEP per play.
