Is Washington serious, can they truly be saying that they need these next two weeks to evaluate whether they want Kirk Cousins as their quarterback? He is the only thing you have going for yourself! In the NFL you can't win without a quarterback and Washington wouldn't have been close to winning games that they won in the last couple years without Cousins. 

They need to start looking themselves in the mirror and be realistic about the chances of winning without a franchise Qb, because the truth is they aren't that good to win without him! 

Pay him the money!
