I can’t see the colts doing that unless the price is ridiculous

I guess time will tell on a lot of those points. If I were the redskins though, I would not pay him 25-27 per year over 6 years with lots of guaranteed money. I think they did what they had to do by franchising him multiple times to see if he can earn a long term contract, and in their eyes he wasn't good enough for it. If he was good enough for them, they would have been more than happy to pay him the big money. Teams just don't let great QBS hit free agency because of money disputes. And I got to agree with them. While I think Cousins is an above average QB, there is no way I would give him 25-27 per year.

Thanks. Good thread. I was wondering about the cap situation next year, especially with the dead money from Woo and TT if they release him

Did they say who the announcers are going to be?

I don't want Bradford. I really don't see anything special with him, and he is always injured as well

What makes you think they won’t spend a high draft pick on a QB? They definitely wouldn’t have spent a 1st rounder on one if they got Cousins, as they would have virtually given the franchise keys to him with a massive contract coming

His starting days are over. And his playing days will be over soon as well, as I believe he’s turning 33 this year

I’m not too sure about the comp pick. And ya, I personally think it’s s good move by the Redskins, to your point . I really don’t think there’s much of a difference between them and like you said, they got Smith wayyyy cheaper

That to me is a red flag as well, if that’s what you’re implying. Washington wouldn’t just let cousins walk if they thought he’s the guy.

I think Denver

What has made him a franchise QB so far in his career? I don't want to the Jets to have him to your point, but as of right now in his career he is not a franchise QB. Maybe in fantasy football, that's about it

Truly impressive how he played against the Jags? In like 4 snaps he fumbled that luckily went out of bounds, had an intentional grounding, and threw and interception.... He made 1 throw for like 11 yards....

Peterman in my opinion isn't even a guarantee to make the team next year. If they decide to draft a rookie this year, Peterman will have to hope the Bills keep 3 QBS. Because you can surely bet they will bring in a veteran to back up the rookie, and that would leave Peterman as the 3rd QB

Trade up. I got a question about cousins though if the bills were to sign him. How tight would they be against the cap if they inked him to the expected 25 mil per year? (Or roughly that) Because I know with Wood retiring and releasing TT, that would result in what, roughly 12 mil in dead money?

When I first read this, I thought you wrote “Aaron Hernandez announces his retirement “.. I was thinking where the hell have I been the last 5 years

Question for anyone who knows the Bills salary cap situation well... How tight would the cap number be if they were to lock up cousins to a long term contract? Just thinking they have a lot of dead money next year with Wood retiring, and would of course release Tyrod resulting in more dead money

All fair points. I’m just saying as of right now in 2018, Smith Is much better than TT my opinion. I personally think Tyrod has hit his ceiling as well and won’t progress like Smith did, but I guess time will tell

I agree. Although I wouldn't say he is mediocre, I would say above average. But definitely don't want him for the huge money

If you want to say Cousins is better, fair enough, but I think they are very close. But as I said earlier, I don't understand the comparison between him and TT. I think Smith is light years ahead of Tyrod

I personally don't think there's too much of a difference between them. For the differences in their contracts, I would take Smith over Cousins. I have Cousins around 13th best QB and Smith around 14-15. The one thing Cousins has going for him Is he is much younger though

Hahaha, let's hope not lol

?... Tyrod is not even close to Alex smith. I'm not sure why people think they are the very similar QBS. Bills are getting nothing for Tyrod

I agree. I hate the Tyrod/Smith comparison. Smith is a better QB at pretty much every facet of the game. Maybe outside of scrambling I’ll say, but he’s still good at it

Alex Smith in a heartbeat. I find Bradford so overrated Why is it obvious Bradford is better? What has Bradford accomplished in almost 10 years in this league? I don’t believe he’s ever even played in the playoffs

I do not want cousins. No way I would like to see the bills get an above average QB and pay him 25 Mil per year
