a nice payday for kirk cousins, he's not complaining. when it's all said and done he'll be here long-term. today at 4:00 p.m. was the deadline for teams to franchise tag players. redskins used their nonfranchise tag to pay him $20 it allows the redskins to keep cousins for next season. but other teams can negotiate a contract for the quarterback if he comes to an agreement. the skins do if they do not match. whenever the team signs cousins they will get two first-round picks in return. either way, it's a pay bump for cousins he earned $700,000 last season. had one of the best performances in quarterback history for the redskins, set a single-season passing record. the redskins have until july 15th to try work out a long-term deal with cousins so they can still get something done during that time. we'll see what happens. >>> amazing figure there. all right. thank you, jason. >>> attorneys for sportscaster erin andrews have rested their case in the lawsuit against a hotel where she was secretly videotaped. they are seeking $75 million agai

mark kirk of illinois wrote this when he talked about the idea. he said i recognize the right of the president to place before a senate nominee for the supreme court. i fully expect to look forward to president obama advancing a nominee for the senate to consider. he had a tough race. we talk about how long this coalition can hold together to keep this from happening. you see fracturing going on because of the races and because of what else might happen. >> that's the big question. mark kirk is one of the only two who has said we need to at least have hearings. susan collins of maine the other senator who said that. i think a lot of us have been surprised that senator aiot in particular was very forthright and very unequivocal early on in saying, i'm with mitch mcconnell. we cannot act on this president's nominee. we have to let the people decide through this presidential election what sort of supreme court justice they want to see. rob portman i think wasn't quite as out front and unequivocal.

that means captain kirk will get a good raise. he'll earn arm of quarterbacks which is $19.95 million for one season and that's assuming that he will do it in the burgandy and cold. cousins negotiate with other teams however, the redskins can match any offer, and if they don't. the team that signs kirk cousins must give up two first round draft picks and that seems unlikely. they have until july 15 to hammer out a long term deal. if cousins signs the one year contract over with the redskins his weekly salary per season per week rather will skyrocket. last year 2015 cousins earned $38,000 a week. next year he'll earn if he signs this deal, just over $1 million every week. is it worth it? we asked fans in -- c. what they thought about it? >> i guess so why not when you look at salaries these guys are making i think $1 million a game for $16 million a year for a franchise type quarterback is probably right in there. i guess. >> is he worth it? . >> did he do the difference between no. >> um, no. not at all. >> i'm worth that, though.

kirk is in a very tight race in a blue state of illinois. probably why he's more amenable on this, but it will be interesting to see the pressure that builds from that forces mcconnell to say, hey, you know what? maybe i should at least allow the senate judiciary committee to move forward on judge garland. one last thing, craig, i spoke to people close to mcconnell. he believes that any backlash he would get from the conservative base is much, much worse than op-eds in the "new york times" or the "washington post" saying he's a bad guy. he doesn't want to upset the conservative base. he is someone who has not had a good relationship with the conservative base and they love him here. probably it won't do a whole lot. >> he's picked his poison, so to speak. thank you. have a good monday and a good monday to you as well. that does it for this hour. thomas roberts picks up your coverage next. you're watching msnbc, the place for politics. our cosmetics line was a hit. the orders were rushing in. i could feel our deadlines racing towards us. we d
