Inigo Montoya Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) The QB contract inflation continues... Here's a blurb about Stafford that mentions Cousins; https://www.nbcsportsedge.com/football/nfl/player/2679/matthew-stafford Here's a link to an article about the Cousin's negotiations; https://www.marca.com/en/nfl/minnesota-vikings/2022/03/05/6222ba8246163f53b78b456f.html It is expected to be a 3-4 year deal for Stafford. Makes Josh's 6 year extension at an average of $42 million a year look better every day. I think this is going to be a recurring theme as more and more QBs take their turn at the NFL QB money trough.

Yep.........pay them! The more teams spend on QB's the cheaper the pickings will be at other positions in UFA over the course of JA's prime. 3 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eSJayDee Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I don't think it's unreasonable for Stafford to ask for something in that area. He's been a very good QB for along time & just won a SB. Cousins...😆 2 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is going to be a recurring theme as more and more QBs take their turn at the NFL QB money trough. and as new TV deals and cap increases. This is not surprising or shocking. Yes in a couple of years Allen's contract will look better....until he asks for a new one. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 I’m glad we signed Josh early, thereby saving serious money. I know how crazy that sounds given the size of his deal, but it’s true. Now, let’s do the same with Diggs. These guys who think that just because they are NEXT means they should get the MOST, might just be correct to an insane degree. I’ll take Josh over these guys all day long. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 (edited) Cousins is elite at making money in his career. Guy has banked $161 million already for being totally mediocre. Hey, good for him. It's a business, as we're often told. Edited March 7, 2022 by TheFunPolice 5 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billzgobowlin Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 This is going to be unsustainable. With a cap of 200 million how can you justify a 1/5 to a 1/4 of team just to one player, let alone if the person gets injured 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys have to make it while they can Stafford is the highest paid player in NFL history. He was one of the lucky QBs to get the big rookie contract before the new CBA capped rookie wages in 2011. He has made $239 million so far. Now he is queued up to make another $100+. Not bad work if you can get it. Edited March 7, 2022 by Inigo Montoya 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 The Vikes have to be more focused on replacing cousins than extending him, right? They got just as far with case Keenum. Now that the GM is gone who signed him, time to admit the L and rebuild at QB. Cousins is what he is, they will be stuck in neutral if they pay him again. They really wanted fields last year but got jumped in the draft and ended up with the kid from TAMU in the 3rd. I expect they will take another shot at QB this year. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted March 7, 2022 Share Posted March 7, 2022 Stafford now has a ring so by default he should definitely be in the conversation of the highest paid QB in the league. Cousins on the other hand would be a hard pass for that kind of money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
