As much as Carolinacoolin and other guys want to preach about this guy, the report right now by Ian Rappoport is that Cyrus is off at least 20 teams' boards all together, due to his knee.

@NFL_CFB: . @RapSheet says he's hearing Kouandjio off the board of about 20 teams (knee concerns). Says #Redskins team to watch w/ him.

There is concern from Alabama's team doctor, but only on the long term.

@RapSheet: Talked to #Bama doc Lyle Cain about Cyrus Kouandjio, who is off many boards. Said: No short-term concerns for cartilage wear. Only long-term

CarolinaCoolin so mad right now.  He's probably furiously working the phones to ESPN, NFLN, and individual team offices to let them know how stupid they are and how he knows for a FACT that there is absolutely NOTHING wrong with Cyrus Kouandjio's knees!!!  Dr. James Andrews said so dammit!!!

I wonder what they mean by long term?

Probably that the injury concern is there, but four, or so, years in the future. Much the same thing we heard about bowers when he came out of Clemson.

Good question.  Is "long term" 3-5 years, 10 years, 20+ years?  Hell, everyone that big is going to have long-term knee issues.  I have to assume that it's "long term" in terms of his football career which I would interpret to be closer to that 3-5 number.  I know Charlie Casserly said he'd take him if his medical staff was saying that he was good for 3-5 years and I assume a lot of GMs would agree with that at some point in the draft, but where is that point?  2nd round?  3rd?  Even later?

      Is Tua our next QB?

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He has a heftier contract than you would think. I think the issue is that the Texans will want likely more than he is worth. They are in no great need of trading him.  I am fine with Mills as a bridge attempt, no issue with that. I just don't want to be seeing top 4 round draft picks headed out the door, even considering our lack of ability to capitalize on them.

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.
