Virgil Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This should be really interesting for a bunch of reasons. I think most would agree that Cousins is better than Smith, but Smith is still a good QB. With that, Smith’s deal should set the floor for the Cousins deal. Also, I’m curious to know what went on behind the scenes to make the Skins think they had to jump on this. They had a decent draft spot and Smith was rumored to be cut for cap reasons. End of the day, it shows what we all know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Cousins was never going to sign a long-term deal with the Redskins and they can't franchise him again. And with the bidding for his services, someone will overpay and it better not be the Bills. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Estro Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I'm guessing the 4 yr. extension Washington gives Alex Smith will be in the $84M range, bringing the total deal to an even $100M over 5 years. Considering, Smith will likely get a $15M signing bonus, not a bad day to be him! It's really a win win for him and the Chiefs. This trade makes the trade up for Mahomes look that much sweeter for the Chiefs, they likely get back close to what they gave up to get him. Cap tip to that franchise. Well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope cousins goes to the jets Would love to see them blow a bunch of cap on an average qb. Plus this would stop them from drafting a qb who actually has potential to be a franchise player for at least a few more years. Go get em gang green If he goes to the Jets then upgrading out defense is as important as anything else we do. DL and LB early on in the draft. We don't want to go 1-5 against our AFCE foes never mind whoever else we face this fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, I disagree in that Denver's D is built to play with leads and I think Cousins may give them that more often than not. Their front seven is leaps and bounds better than ours. That said, I do think they missed Wade Phillips' scheming last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are boxed in you acknowledge the situation and make the best of the weak situation you are in. Cousins was not going to sign with them. And the team didn't believe he was worth the extravagant contract this year. To make the situation worse if they did franchise him and he played on another one year deal the team would be in the same situation the following year. What the signing of Smith does is buy time to get another qb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats show Cousins is consistently top 10, sometimes top 5. And would free up our draft picks to build around him. He's not top 5, not even close Brady Rodgers Brees Wentz Goff Wilson Rothlisberger Stafford Luck if he gets healthy again. Rivers Ryan... Top 10 is even debatable. Not even consistent.

PIZ Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 I hope there isn't even one Bills fan that doesn't want Kirk Cousins. It would be awesome to see a QB find his wide open receivers instead of dumping it off to a FB. Kirk Cousins would be a huge upgrade. Here are his numbers the last 3 years: 2017.... 4,093. 27 TDs. 2016.... 4,917. 25 TDs. 2015.... 4,166. 29 TDs. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won't lose you a game very often. He isn't Brady, he won't win games when he has zero help, but he's certainly closer to Brady than he is to Tyrod. Personally I count 2-3 more wins if Cousins was the starter last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Formerly Allan in MD Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Cousins wants to play for a team that can win. That probably eliminates the Browns and some others. But we shouldn't break the bank for him. Bet Denver does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
