If Cousins likes what Sean McDermott is putting together in Buffalo, the Bills become an interesting option that might not be too far from title contention.

The interesting thing to me is that it's well known how faith based McD and Beane are. Cousins shares the same view points there. It also wasn't lost on me how faith based the Eagles were in the post game on Sunday. Way moreover than a typical "I'd like to thank God". Maybe it's nothing but maybe it's a nice comfort level for Cousins. That said, I don't think the Bills even go after him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Cousins likes what Sean McDermott is putting together in Buffalo, the Bills become an interesting option that might not be too far from title contention. I don't see the Bills having the cap space to pull it off and make it look appealing to Cousins. If they cut Tyrod they have 43 million in cap space. Cousins is going to command 25-30 million of that space. That leaves very little money to upgrade other areas of the roster. Granted if they sign Cousins they have 4 picks in the first two rounds to actually make something happen but if I am not sure you can sell Cousins on upgrading the rest of the roster with a bunch of draft picks. Maybe the Bills can defer some of Cousins cap number to 2019 when Dareus, Wood, and other cap penalties fall off (Plus some contracts fall off the books.) Then they can still make a couple of modest signings (Resign Gaines and maybe find a decent DT like Star.) But then you have to question is Cousins going to put you in a situation like Joe Flacco did to Baltimore. Committing big money to an average to above average QB compromises the rest of the roster and locks you into mediocrity. But if you think Cousins can be a very good QB and you just acquire him for cap space you then actually can push into contention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing is I think QB is the one big play that even a conservative organization and regime might make. I agree that I don't think they have heavy activity in free agency at best Star or another DT on a modest Hyde type contract is the only big play they make other than resigning Gaines.

TheFunPolice Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Cousins and the picks! Love it! Honestly imagine the Browns signing Cousins, making bank in a trade for #1 overall, picking the best non-QB at #4 and loading their roster up.

McCarron depending on 2/15 RFA/UFA ruling?...'Zona's Stanton?....???) to groom the 1st round draft QB pick and Peterman......not seeing college ball and only depending on what I read, it is more and more sounding like Rudolph is their guy at 21/22, a safe but unsexy pick.......
