When did cousins ever defer his contract to after he retired ?

 

The Mets thought they were going to make billions on the Bernie Madoff Ponzi scheme... Which they didn't realize was a scheme

 

So that's why they deferred his contract till he retired thinking they'd make more money... Not realizing the Ponzi scheme would collapse.. they would lose a bunch of money

 

And the interest on Bobby's deferment kicked in... It was supposed to be 5.9 million deferred... Which turned over 20 million because of the interest

 

I don't see how the Kirk cousins is anything like that

They tried to bluff and Kirk called it.

Their coach made several comments about letting Kirk see the market. How he "earned" it, etc. 

Welp, he saw the market alright.

You can't bluff Kirk Cousins. 

 

Washington played that game with the franchise tag 2X and instead of crying about it he bet on himself.  He performed at a high level and stayed healthy and cashed in. Kudos 👏

The numbers are inaccurate.

I wouldn't have paid that much, but its not surprising when he really is the only legit quality starter available right now in FA.  This is what happens when you are desperate at QB though, you pay top dollar for a 35 year old QB coming off a major injury.  

 

Cousins is a massive upgrade though, so will be interesting how that team fares now because I think they can win that division is Cousins is back to his old self quickly.  They got the weapons and they had an underrated defense as it is too.

He is the new Ryan Fitzpatrick.  He's going to retire with ENORMOUS money, despite never having really been worth a *****.

 

There's something wrong with that.

 

Doesn't seem right.

When the Redskins drafted RG3 #2 overall in 2012, they followed up with Cousins in the 4th round of the same draft.  12 years later- RG3's career earnings are $33M. The afterthought, Cousins, has already earned $228M in his career, and will be up to $410M if he plays out all 4 years of this new contract.

 

Awesome story and completely crazy.

Fitz has over 30,000 yards and over 200 TDs.... Certainly , way more stats than a lot of bums who get paid

 

The dude was in trash situations for most of his career.. played with cast-offs and afterthoughts

 

And has 30,000 yards throwing

 

Put some respect on Ryan Fitzpatrick 

 

He's ahead of Tony Romo on the all-time yards list and cam Newton and Ryan Tannehill

It was clear disrespect to Josh Johnson. He played for like two more teams but made 70 mil less

Josh Johnson doesn't have 30,000 passing yards over 200 TDs

 

Fitz has more yards than Ryan tannehill, Cam Newton, Tony Romo, Kurt Warner
