Shit is Getting Real

The 49ers just signed Pierre Garcon to a 3 year deal that I hear is $16 mill per? Shanny really likes him some Garcon. He of course was Shanny’s big signing when he came to Washington a few years ago.

Not quite sure if that is the real number, but holy shit, what this says to me is that we are going to go after Kurt Cousins in a big way. Shanahan appears to be in the process of creating the Resdskins West.

This isn’t necessarily a bad thing, but it certainly ratchets up the pressure on everyone in the building. A team that has been a laughingstock and one that would have been given rope to build slowly is now looking like they want to forego any gradual process and burn through the cap money in a big fat hurry. Again, not necessarily bad, but this team is all of a sudden looking at a 9 win season being a failure should Cousins show up amid the spending frenzy.

    Would love to see LB Haasan Reddick make it to our slot 34 in RD2 too.
    Pick 2 is wide open. Jon Allen or either of the 2 Safeties, Hooker/Adams would be a great start.
    Corey Davis is my Joker option if we slide back for an extra Pick.

    NBA season turned into a farce in San Antonio last night. They may as well steal the fans wallets.

    The schedulers should be shot, Nip. 8 cities in 13 days.

    Kerr penciled that in as a rest day at ge start of the season.

    NJ, the thing about Cousins is Snyder does not really want to help any of the Shanahans and trading Cousins to us would do just that. Wash has NO leverage at this point and I expect a lowball offer for Kurt at some point in the immediate future. Wash stands to lose him entirely next year as:

    a) He wants out
    b) He wants to be with Shanahan
    c) He’s a free agent

    So, Washington is forced to make a hugely outlandish move that still may not get Cousins to stay in DC, or they let him walk next year without any compensation short a comp pick in 2019. Washington just lost their GM a couple days ago, and everyone short of Terelle Pryor, is fleeing the sinking ship.
