It’s not just about the money. Kirk Cousins says that he did not sign an extension with the Redskins in part because he wants to further evaluate the organization after its front office shakeup. 
“We felt like we needed more time,” Cousins told 106.7 The Fan.
Of course, it also didn’t help that the Redskins did not improve their offer made in the spring. The last proposal he received from the team effectively only granted him two guaranteed seasons with an average annual value that he only would have accepted one full year ago.
Cousins also confirmed that he did not present the Redskins with an offer during this round of talks. He considered doing so as the deadline approached, but ultimately he held off.
“Up until a week ago, I was praying over whether we should send them an offer,” Cousins said. “I felt peace about not making an offer and leaving it in the team’s court.”
If the lowball offer wasn’t insulting enough, then one might think that Cousins was offended by team president Bruce Allen referring to him as “Kurt” Cousins during a statement to the media on Monday afternoon. When it came to that, Cousins took the high road.
“I‘ve been called Kurt my entire life. … [It] doesn’t matter. It is what it is. It’s fine. Not a big deal.”
Cousins says his first choice is to stay with the Redskins, but we’ll find out if he really means it next offseason.
At that offered pay level, even though the skins messed up, it is difficult to feel any sympathy for Cousin. He wants elsewhere so trade him and get something
They low balled him. It made no sense financially to accept that deal in the current qb market. And they can’t even get his name right
Just give “Kurt” his money already!!!
Can’t even get the guy’s name right. Shameful
