Heimdallr Posted March 13, 2018 Author Share Posted March 13, 2018 My thoughts: 1. We all knew that Cousins would get the biggest NFL contract ever, no surprise. 2. I trust Rick and Brz to already have a plan and budget in place for the next 3 years. 3. If it is a 3-year deal, that is really easy to work with. Overall, the money doesn't bother me a bit. 4. Cousins is the best QB we have had since prime Culpepper. 5. Cousins is only 29. For the first time since Culpepper we have a legitimate, long-term QB. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitehops Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 though it's not official it's looking darn likely that cousins signs with us. considering cousins isn't one of the top 10 QBs in the league and it's only a three year deal, is it likely that the vikings are viewing him as a high-end stop gap? for those with PFF advanced stats or whatever, how good is cousins in play action? it'll likely be a big part of our offense since zimmer likes to run the ball and we have dalvin cook back there. also, it's going to be super, super weird seeing teddy on another team if we don't bring him back as a backup 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boda Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If true we got Cousins for exactly what I wanted, pay no attention to Sherman as that was a pipe dream thus why I didn't have a salary 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this is a huge part of why Ownership & Rick wanted to truely find their QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until Cousins blows out his knee in Week 7. Ptooie! No curse! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where are you hearing this? I know that it has been rumored about Cousins but Brees had something like 52% guaranteed in his deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
