So take the low risk low likelihood of success route. Cousins will get 150 mil over 3 years not a stop gap. Foles is under contract . The Vikings come with heavy injury concerns and are as a result poor stop gaps. Also when will that gap end? When will we be in position to get an Elite prospect ?

The smith deal should show how over paid cousins will be. The Skins Spent 23.5 and a 3rd and a 22 year old elite CB. Some team is going to do something crazy for Cousins. I don’t want that team to be us.

Cousins is going to get a monster contract.

We should bring in a peterman type vet to mentor our project QBs... is Levi Brown available?

28 is the transition tag, 35 is the franchise tag. That is where I am getting my estimate from. I am of the belief that teams regularly over pay in free agency and so 35 is not out of the question. Especially if the Browns and Jets make a go at him. Both have plenty of reasons to.

35 would be nothing to the Browns and Jets who are both sitting on 100mil and both really need to win now.

So your hope is that he’d come to Baffalo for 28 per year rather than Cleveland or NY for 35. He’d take a 35 million dollar discount (over 5 years) to come here.

I hope Denver, Arizona, New York, Washington and Cleveland don’t figure that out too. A 5 team bidding war could really drive up the price.

He will get much more than that. The Jags probably feel they would be in the Super Bowl if they had Smith Instead of Bortles. If they think he can play 4 years and get them over the top they would pay a high price for him.

So a 3 and a 5 and 30 mil against the cap. Plus hope that he prefers Buffalo over Denver.

Reports are that Washington will transition tag him and then try to work out a trade. So the new starting price is 29 mil per year and draft picks.

If I’m the Jags I’d trade my 2nd.

For those of you that want Cousins how much would you pay per year 30 mill? 35 mil? 40?!? How much is he worth? If you got in a bidding war how high would you go?

I think people are underestimating his contract value and upfront cap hit. Both of those are likely to be high. Quality free agents always go above market value. Add to that that a healthy top ten QB has never in the 25 years of free agency reached the open market and you get a crazy expensive scenario. Add in that the browns and Jets have over 100 mil in cap space and you get s scenario where the bills are unlikely to land him

The op’s premise that Wood should have been looked at as injury prone and treated as if he were another Sam Bradford is flawed in so many ways.

Complain all you want it is the way things are done now. Julian Edelman missed game time due to injury in 6 of his 8 seasons. Then in June the Pats extended him then in August he was out for the season and the Pats were on the hook for 8 mil in dead cap. If Wood was on IR for tearing his ACL for the 5th time in 8 seasons you’d have a point. But the way the Bills treat non reoccurring injuries is common now.

Can you point me to anything th What you continually disregard is the fact that when they signed the contract he had no elevated risk of being injured you can throw around your out of context 3 of 8 but it is irealevant two broken legs and two fully healed knee injuries, all non reoccurring. Can you tell me what a broken leg or a torn MCL has to do with a damaged neck.the answer is nothing.

Injury guarantees are common unless your injury history includes things that are likely to reoccur. Eric’s injuries did not fit into that category. A broken leg is not reoccurring it heals and goes away. His knee injuries were not reoccurring. There was therefore no medical reason to conclude he was at an elevated risk for future injuries and as a result the standard injury guarantee was written in.

He played at a pro bowl level in 2015, was playing as well in 2016 before suffering a freak injury. Until that freak accident he had the active record for most consecutive starts by a center. So yes the inj guarantee was appropriate. It is standard in veteran contracts unless there is reason to believe that previous injuries pose a risk of future injuries.

Wood’s contract was commiserate with his contributions on the field. And even if there were no drop in production, debatable, there would be a noteable drop off in depth on the oline.

Cool come back. Guy plays 100% of snaps before a d line man rolls up his leg and you think that he should be seen as injury prone. That is a rediculous take. Especially because that leg injury has nothing to do with his neck.

You won me over Eric Wood played 4000 consecutive snaps, 100% of the snaps for 56 consecutive games then suffered a non reoccurring injury on a fluke accident. The Bills should have known he was injury prone. That is why the packers will move on from Aaron Rogers this year,he’s old and has had two broken bones.

How common are contracts with injury guarantees? Are they common in cases of veteran players?

35% support kneeling 50% disapprove. However a vast majority of people support freedom of speech even if they don't agree with what the person is saying (75%). So some of those who disapproved of the kneeling would also disapprove of the limit put on free speech to stop it. So doing nothing makes half the people angry and doing something would have made the other half angry. And Goodell had no leverage to convince Kaep to give up his protest and even if he did have some leverage stepping in to stop a political statement (which I don't think the NFL has ever done) about racial injustice would have been a nightmare.
