You fell victim to one of the classic blunders.
Hadn't considered that. But it makes sense.If Cousins hits free agency, he is going to shatter the record for highest paid QB. And that isn't because he is great, just because he will be the only "good" QB to hit feee agency since Peyton. The bidding war will be unreal.
His salary for 2017 is $23.9 million?
The QB-desperate Bears just signed "nothing special" Mike Glennon 3 years for $45 mill.
And who can forget the fiasco signing of Brock Osweiler last season by Houston 4 years $72 mill.
And backup Chase Daniel to Philly 3 years $21 mill.
Can you imagine if a team with a decent, established QB goes after Cousins? The established QB will demand a trade. Money will be flying around.
