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 Edited March 11 by Buffalo716 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 1 hour ago, Einstein said: 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 👏 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alphadawg7 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 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. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 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. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
947 Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Pro bowlers from Around the same era Edited March 11 by Buffalo716 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCockSportif Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I have these Drew Bledsoe to Buffalo (circa 2002) vibes around this one. Can the Falcons go .500 and/or above with Cousins? Possibly. Gonna win a SB with him? Likely no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His payday from Minnesota and now from the Falcons does not say "underrated". I'm not talking about that. I mean his reputation. There are still people that think he sucks or is slightly above average. I think he is way better than he has been given credit for in his career. Most starting QBs are making $40 million a year now. Daniel Jones is making that. I wouldn't put too much into what he is making to determine how good he is. I'm just going by his body of work and watching him over the years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tannehill, Darnold or Tyrod are pretty much the only guys left on the market who you would think about being a consideration to start a game… Pretty much a foregone conclusion they’re in the market for a QB this draft… Did they miss out on Russell Wilson?

I think they considered Nick Mullins higher on their depth chart than Josh Dobbs, and when Mullins got healthy he moved back ahead of Dobbs. JMO, neither Josh Dobbs nor Nick Mullins are a long term answer. The Vikings draft when? 11th?

Thurman#1 Posted March 12 Share Posted March 12 9th by AAV among QBs. That's reasonable for Cousins. Not that bad for the Falcons, IMO. The contract details are always important, but I don't think Atlanta got fleeced for Cousins the way the Vikes did with their original all-guaranteed contract for him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to think a trade up unless they’re comfortable and believe Daniels will fall to them? Could even play a waiting game until the second round in the hope McCarthy or Nix make it that far. Could go Penix Jr. A lot of options for them that are better than what’s left on the scrap heap of QB FAs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
