Jimmy G just got 27.5, Kirk is getting way more than that. We aren’t going to have cap space like this forever. He’s already proven he couldn’t get the job done in Washington with an average cast, so the push needs to happen soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimuraGod Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 And the dream of us getting Jimmy G has died....not that we really had a chance but now we know for certain. Anyway...to the Cousins thread!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockice_8 Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Unless you were @JetsandI we all knew Jimmy was getting locked up faster then SF could draw up the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to demand $30M where ever he goes now... You got a good point there. 30 million for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no prob giving the guy 100+ mil, but you can't pay him 35. That's over 20% higher than what Jimmy G. got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying you have to be pro-Cousins, but people like to point fingers and say he's not a winner he's on the most injury-prone team in a league that hasn't had a top 20 D since he's been there. Meanwhile, nobody points fingers at Drew Brees for going 7-9 3 straight years. Why? Because it's not his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then if he does play great and guys like Cousins, Rodgers etc gets 30M+ you are paying him even more. It's a risk to pay him now because it's such a small sample but could pay off big if he lives up to it. It could be a great deal at 27.5M when the others are getting 30+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, if he goes out and bombs, they're looking at the worst contract in NFL history. It's just a very small sample size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s enough for me to notice a trend. We don’t gave a top 20 defense either. And Brees is a HOFer who had HISTORICALLY bad defenses. why? Probably has to do with the cap issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, if he goes out and bombs, they're looking at the worst contract in NFL history. It's just a very small sample size. What do you mean not necessarily. If he continues on his trajectory as the next great QB they could have him on a reasonable deal as the cap rises and the rest of the QB's get paid. I didn't see the contract but it's likely a glorified 3 year deal with an out after that. Lets say he does bomb out next year you are likely giving him another year to right the ship anyway which is two seasons if he bombs yet again then you are drafting a QB high and you really only have to eat 1 more year at 27M before getting out and moving on. Worth the risk IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't have a top 20 D, but we're trending. And I know Brees is a hall of famer. Just saying, you can't always point fingers at the QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
