Gotcha. I'm really hoping the plan becomes clear soon. The limbo thing has gotten very old.
Senior Oklahoma State quarterback Mason Rudolph, the top passer in college football in 2017, says it was a childhood dream to play for the Redskins.
A three-year starter for Oklahoma State, Rudolph finished 2017 with 4,904 passing yards (65 completion percentage), 37 touchdowns (fourth) and 9 interceptions, shepherding the Cowboys to a 10-3 record and a bowl victory (over Virginia Tech) in his senior season. He was 30-9 overall as a starter and 2-1 in bowl games.
Rudolph, a Rock Hill, S.C. native — a stone's throw away from Redskins legend Joe Gibbs' North Carolina home — grew up going on family vacations with the Gibbs family.
“Me and my brother are good friends with the Gibbs' grandson, the boys,†Rudolph told 106.7 The Fan's Craig Hoffman at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. “Jackson, who's the quarterback at UCLA now; Miller; and then Jason and Taylor. Great family. Obviously my parents were good friends with J.D., Coach Gibbs' son, and so we were close in proximity.â€
“I was in Rock Hill (S.C.), they were in Charlotte (N.C.), and so we'd get together growing up all the way up through my childhood, take vacations together,†he said.
That's not where Rudolph's local ties end. Earlier in life, the he lived in Virginia. The Redskins were a part of his weekly tradition.
“I lived in Virginia, so that was the closest team to cheer for,†he said, “and I always loved turning on the game Sunday afternoon watching the Skins play. That was kind of my team, really.â€
To me Cousins seems like a different kind of cat. It wouldn't surprise me if his goal is to reset the contract structure of the league as far as a fully guaranteed deal while, at the same time, maximizing his income. To become this generations Curt Flood, so to speak.
The most interesting factor is to see if any owner is willing to break rank in the face their peers.
it would be a stupid financial decision for any team to do so because of the hard cap.
Once Grant Paulsen removed Kirk's penis from his mouth for long enough, he said it would be fair to give him a three-year deal for $75m, essentially making the entire contract a signing bonus. Now... say Kirk goes out in game 6 next year and tears an ACL or shits the bed, both of which are possible. The team has no “out†and a hard cap. You cut him, whammo goes your cap.
Inspiring....right? :kickcan:
“It all depends what's in the guy's heart, and how they look at this thing and how they take the game,†he said. “The most important thing, if they play this game with a lot of passion and a lot of heart, with the abilities that they do have, nine out of ten they're gonna be successful.â€
Eh, much ado about nothing.
It is a crapshoot. Always has been. Always will be.
That's the way life goes. People are just too arrogant to believe that luck/fate plays the biggest part.
Both the good and the bad.
