Kirk Cousins could easily feel uncertain about his future with the Washington Redskins. There have been two rounds of tense negotiations with little progress, coupled with the history of the Redskins not valuing him enough to have Ryan Kerrigan Jerseys already signed him to a long term deal.Yet as another deadline looms, Cousins harbors no animosity toward Eric Schaffer, the person he describes as the team's "classy" chief negotiator. Sean Taylor Jerseys "This isn't his first rodeo," Cousins said of Schaffer. "I have a lot of faith in him not only in handling my situation, but when my situation is handled, handling everybody else's. I have faith in that. But make no mistake: There are DeSean Jackson Jerseys titles ahead of him."People in the organizational pecking order with titles above Schaffer include owner Dan Snyder, president Bruce Allen and senior vice president of player personnel Doug Williams, so it's far from just Schaffer hammering out an agreement with Cousins and agent Mike McCartney."Those people make decisions, too," Cousins said.When Williams was promoted June 13 in the wake of general manager Scot McCloughan's firing, he said he'd let Schaffer – who was Kirk Cousins Jerseys elevated the same day to senior VP of football operations and general counsel – "finish the job" with Cousins.That's no easy task as another deadline looms Monday for Washington and Cousins' camp to work out a long-term deal or have the quarterback play a second consecutive season on the franchise tag, this time at $23.95 million. Jordan Reed Jerseys Cousins and all involved have faith in Schaffer, a level-headed, organized and knowledgeable professional who has helped keep a sometimes drama-strained front office on track for more than a decade."We're not trying to win a championship with our contract," Schaffer said.
