LOLSKINS if confirmed

Washington and QB Kirk Cousins haven’t had any contact since regular season ended, per source. And now each side will go its own way.

Would be so fitting if Fuller found out he was trades via social media. Lolskins

lol

Reminds me when Sproles got traded to Philly and he learned via twitter

I don't think they could've gotten Cousins at that price (or at all, apparently, if the deteriorating relationship is to be believed), but this is still a terrible trade for Washington.

Couldn't happen to a nicer team

I realize they couldnt have gotten him at that contract now. they could have two years ago or something close last offseason but instead ****ed around.

Kendall Fuller is now telling his teammates that he is headed to the Chiefs in the Alex Smith deal. He was one of the last people to find out. #Redskins

just incredible

I wouldn’t have traded Kendall Fuller straight up for smith let alone him and a 3rd

This is like Champ Bailey all over again

Or at least a sub-Champ Bailey.

Holy **** not enough lols for the skins here

Kendall taking it pretty well, even dropped HomerBushes.gif

Gotta be weird finding out you're traded via Twitter

Truly stunning. Not enough lols in the universe

The LOLs to get to this place go back years with how the skins continually ****ed up the cousins situation

So with the leftover money from signing Smith instead of Kirk they can go out and sign a cornerback worse than the one they traded away for Smith.

Brilliant

Does make you wonder if they know something about Cousins that the rest of us don't given how improbable it is that any QB that is solid or better never hits FA.

Wiki

Fuller for 2/$1.4m is pretty sweet value...

Cousins about to get PAID

came out of a meeting and there were 55 new posts in here...figured something was up

I think Smith and Cousins are both above average NFL QBs.

Smith is > than Cousins and I'm not worried about his age. They'll be committed to him for somewhere between 3 and 4 seasons by which point he'll be 36ish and should still be playing the same type of football. The fact that 6 teams tried to trade for him and would presumably have been prepared to pony up a similar length deal suggests the teams believe the same.

But...it's wrong to evaluate this deal right now by comparing Cousins and Smith.
Whatever the Skins could have gotten Cousins for 2 years ago is irrelevant now and to the Skins decision making when doing this deal. Cousins was very clearly not signing with the Skins this offseason at any sensible amount and certainly not for 4 years. So we have to compare this deal to what other QBs they could have gotten in the draft or free agency. And in that regard $23m per for the extension when added to $17m for next year is fine.

I don't know enough about the CB to comment on the 'value' of the trade, albeit if he's a star then it seems like the CHiefs got a great deal

I do feel sorry for Smith though he's going to a **** organisation in a division to compete against the two best young QBs in the NFL

Alex Smith's career earnings gonna be so nasty when he retires.

Would appear to be that the chefs upgraded their qb and cb situation all in one fell swoop.

Who else apart from Wentz?
