Was Kirk Cousins Disrespected by the Redskins?

Related Topics: Kirk Cousins, Scot McCloughan

Amid rampant reports from various "sources" that no long-term deal will be reached between the Redskins and Kirk Cousins before the start of free agency begins, the question of WHY is being floated around various Internet hubs and among many media personalities. Right now, everyone is looking to pin the blame on someone, and rightfully so.

Unsubstantiated rumors by many "talking heads" are pointing the finger at team President Bruce Allen and General Manager Scot McCloughan, as being the ones who are reluctant to pay Cousins like a top 5 quarterback in this league.
