What I got from the OP is that Cousins will ask for money in the range of the elite QB’s. Cousins isn’t in the same league as Brady or Rogers, we all can agree on that. The issue is teams can’t then go spend money on other talent. Paying elite QB money to a good/average QB sets your franchise back. I agree with what he says. Cousins is average to good. Paying Cousins 25-30 million a year isn’t something I want or foresee in Buffalo. The market will correct itself, this year could speed that up if teams didn’t bid for Cousins services above what he is.
