Virgil Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyDays Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTheTrust Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) 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! Edited February 8, 2018 by ProcessTheTrust 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Risky move by the 49ers. I thought they'd put the franchise tag on him given he's only played five games, but Shanahan obviously has a lot of faith in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 He’s going to be a massive bomb. Not that he will suck. But he’s going to be Kirk Cousins. Put up some numbers. Not be great. This is a major mistake imo. We’ll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why...the salary cap is the difference between NFL and MLB....owners still bring in billions. They're not hurting for money. No NFL team loses money at the end of the year...plus it's only a 5 year deal....not the 10 year fully guaranteed deals baseball gives out Edited February 8, 2018 by nucci Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessTheTrust Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 (edited) It's not as simple as "Wow, the guy only has like 6 starts". The way he looked when he stepped in for NE, it left people debating "is he that good or is the system....remember Cassell?" But then to go to SF mid-season, look just as good as he did those couple games in NE, with far less talent around him, it was clear. They have an elite talent who happened to learn under Brady for a few years. Throw the bank at the kid.

Heitz Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Eye popping numbers - I know the NFL has an overall salary cap, but do they need to consider a “by position” cap? Teams could max out whatever positions they feel are most important, but can’t go over the “position” number. Just spitballing... Also, when does the trade go down? ?

MJS Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 This reminds me of the huge Brock Osweiler contract a couple of years ago. The guy has no experience in the NFL yet. He does look good though for the free games he played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
