They are not going to tag Brown.
The Franchise tag for an LB is almost 15 million/yr.
Do any of you think he's worth that?

What is more conspicuous to me is the lack of messages from players on the team referencing any type of frustration or displeasure with the obvious departure of #8 . Has there been even one?
Their silence is deafening.
4 tds but 2 interceptions and a number of others that could have been picks.
Keenum likes to throw the ball in tight coverage but doesn't have the kind of size and arm to pull it off consistently.
Again if he has another year like 2017 where a lot broke right for him I would be surprised.
His own coach, Zimmer, didn't show him much love after the playoff loss.
Zimmer's comment that he activated Bradford because he is a good deep ball thrower if they needed it doesn't bode well for Keenum's return in 2018.
I expect to see him in Cleveland or NY or whichever other team loses out on Cousins.
I wouldn't read too much into that. First off, Cousins is still on the team until March when free agency starts. Secondly, he's doing what all the players want to do and that is maximize their contract when they can. If players are upset about it, they are more likely to be upset at management not paying because they want theirs when it's their time. Lastly, the defense is shocked because Fuller had no say in this and they were all surprised. They all expected him to be there and he was traded. Whereas with Kirk, everyone expected he would be gone. So there isn't any shock to this for them. But again, the criticisms we heard are towards management.
Now, maybe we find out in time the players thought Kirk was a prick and they are happy he is gone. If that's the case, we will hear it. But for now, I wouldn't expect any comment regardless of how they feel.

Not so sure about all that. There has been a lot of player talk on Twitter and elsewhere about the Redskins building something and retaining players. That's why there were understandably some passionate immediate reactions to Kendall Fuller being traded. From everyone OTHER THAN Kirk Cousins that is. I think players understand that the team has to make moves, sometimes even dramatic ones, to fill key positions. I also think player's know that while the FO might have bungled the Cousins situation, ultimately it was Kirk who gave the team a big 'eff you'.
And I do believe it's telling that there hasn't been a single social media post from a teammate (read 'NOT ONE') communicating 'good luck in your future endeavors Kirk!'
But Kirk isn't gone yet. Technically, neither is Fuller, but the word is obviously out that Fuller will be. I'm not saying everyone loved Kirk and everyone is upset he is expected to leave. I believe time will tell if the other players are happy or upset that Cousins will leave. We will hear the truth soon enough. I'm just saying that right now, I don't expect any word from other players about Cousins until something happens.
I'm not in twitter, but maybe you can find this out. Has there been any comments from the Chiefs players about Smith being traded?

Thanks for find that. You always want to hear about the guy you just hired.

Zach Brown is not worth a tag because in a strong defense he is a TWO down player.
The truth is he is impactful with his speed and tackling ability but for some reason despite the physical skills just doesn't have natural cover instincts.
In today's league you have to have inside linebackers that can cover and right now this team's best cover linebacker hands down is Mason Foster.
I didn't watch much of Brown in Buffalo but his inability to cover TEs and RBs consistently is what cost him big money in free agency.
Why pay him $12M a year when we can go into the draft and perhaps get a Roquan Smith at #13 ?
Brown at 29 is going to want a deal that takes him to 32-33 and that's not good value for the Redskins as linebacker is one position along with running back where you can get guys that can play up and down the draft board and in FA.
He's not on Twitter. He's made the adjustment to going to a different team several times now. I'd be surprised if he didn't have at least some input into his future destination. I expect he'll be all in when he gets here as he has always been characterized as a pro's pro.

It sounds like he made the choice it sounded like Denver may have been the destination but they were not offering an extension which is what he wanted.
