If we can get Cousins we have to. This is the market for a QB who played well in FIVE GAMES. Cousins has 3 consecutive years of top 10 production. If we draft a rookie we'll have to make them the highest paid player ever in 5 years or so. There's no avoiding it. Do it now.

27.5 mil a year?  Wow.  That's a lot of money for a guy who hasn't started a full season.  

 

Cousins has to hit 30 mil per

Salary cap keeps going up.....so will salaries.....though you're right,  pretty incredible for a guy that hasn't play a full season

Seems to be an endless cycle. I'm all for players getting paid but these type of salaries for QB's tends to leave less for other players.

I know. If you have a QB worth anything eventually they will be the highest paid player in NFL history. As long as the salary keeps going up that will never stop.

That's a lot of $ but I'm not ready to say he's overpaid. Re-watching his highlights (I know, they only show the good stuff...and there's a ton in his small sample), they must have full confidence that he is fully "cooked" after sitting and watching from literally the best for years. It's like the old school grooming method with NE not enjoying the fruit...thankfully!
