apuszczalowski Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I think people will be shocked when he signs that he didn't just go to the highest bidder He is going to leave money on the table to go to a better team. The Jets may back up the Brinks truck, but I think he takes less to go to a team like Arizona or Denver taking less money per year then he could have gotten. From everything he has said, he is looking for term more then money. He wants to go somewhere closer to winning and wants a long term deal. If its all about money he would let himself get franchise tagged again. If the Bills aren't in, I think the front runners are Denver then Arizona, Minnesota could also be in the running if they are interested. Arizona has a decent team in need of a QB, Denver is the same and would have had a better record with a good QB. Minnesota was close to a SB birth and now needs to sign a QB this year. The Jets and Browns can pay him whatever he wants, but are much further away from contending then just a better QB. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills, Broncos, and the Cardinals are a toss up. If he is true to his word about wanting to win the Jets and Browns are non starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihilarian Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 13 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: The heart of Denver's WR corps is talented, but old. And their OL is bad. You're durn straight I'm Cousins, I want to know the plan there. I don't know enough about Musgrave - but I think you could argue at least the O didn't get worse after McCoy got the boot. Word I heard was that he was doing the Roman thing, prepping and insisting on practicing 30+ plays every week, then only running 1/3 of them in a game, and Musgrave had orders to simplify. I can't argue with your take on the Jets being uncertain, I just feel Denver has a better D. You put your finger on it in what you say - whenever a team is stout at giving up yards and 1st downs, but bad at giving up points, ask why. In the case of Denver, I believe it was points off turnovers. If I'm Cousins, my first choice is the Vikes if they're interested, but I would certainly give Denver a careful listen and if I like their sales pitch, I'd put them over the Jets. 3 I agree with all this. Just remember that Denver went 5-11 last year with a new defensive-minded head coach and they don't have nearly enough cap space to compete with the 5-11 Jets or the 0-16 Cleveland Browns. Far, far too much uncertainty in Denver in my view. Like I said, my first two choices would be Jacksonville if they choose to move on from Bortles or Minnesota and the Vikes would hold the sway due to who the OC is in Minn vs the Jags OC. I think Buffalo has an honest shot mostly because they made the playoffs last year with an actual winning record (albeit luck played a big part) Cousins is said to be a very bright guy who studies teams coaching staffs, rosters, and front office. Buffalo has a great RB in Shady McCoy and a stout run game that can help take pressure off a QB. I may be a bit Buffalo biased but Buffalo checks a lot of boxes and after hearing that if he signed here that the Bills FO would then spend all those early picks in improving the current roster All Cousins need do is watch that AFC playoff game between Buffalo and Jacksonville to see that the team is only a better quality QB away.

If he's not gone by the draft, he will be had at a discount. WEO he will be gone by day 2 of FA at the latest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the case I kinda doubt the Jets will sign him as they tear apart their team to do so! Captain Kirk is a very bright guy and he knows who won last season and who didn't. He also knows which team has a winning staff and roster will factor into where he goes. Minnesota and Jacksonville would be firsts. Buffalo would be next in my eyes if they don't spend all those early picks to move up in the draft. Arizona is third and Cleveland, the NY Jets, Denver are last! I highly doubt he goes to any of those teams unless he gets no other solid offers from the others. If Buffalo wants him I think they have a solid chance without needing to empty the vault. JMHO maybe he's the humble ,blue collar, family guy whose made plenty of money and just wants to go to a good hearted town and fan base and help them to achieve glory. he was born and raised in an area similar to the buffalo burbs and not far from the lake. who knows? tom brady is far from the highest paid player....

JMHO I agree with this. Say what you want about the tag but it couldn't of worked out any better for Cousins. He made a ton of money by being tagged the last few years & now he is set to hit FA. Oh he will get his $25 mill a year, the money will be there from several teams. Wouldn't be surprised if he left a few million on the table to go to a better situation than the NYJ.

I agree with this, and if Jets are leaking they'll pay him whatever he wants, they know he's not signing with them and want to drive his price up for team who does. Just like all these rumors about Bills moving up in draft. Makes a team like Jets think they have to move up to get their guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
