TheFunPolice Posted March 1, 2018 Posted March 1, 2018 One major point of career is to make money, and Kirk has shown that he knows how to get the most out of the system. The guy has made some serious cash the past few years, so why not? If I'm a player and some team wants to keep tagging me I would take it. You make enormous money and you aren't locked in somewhere if things go south quickly.
BillsFan4 Posted March 2, 2018 Posted March 2, 2018 (edited) I think Cousins likely goes to Minnesota, but it sucks for the Bills. Thats the one rumored team that actually hurts Buffalo, as They pick well after us in the draft. Id much rather him go to a team like Denver, Arizona or even the NYJ, who by signing him would all leave a QB on the board for Buffalo. Ideal scenario in my mind is that Cousins goes to Denver, Keenum goes to the NYJ, and Bradford/Bridgewater go to Arizona and all3 pass on drafting a QB with their top pick.

Itll be intresting to see if he picks the team that offers him the most money, or if he goes to the best situation. Edited March 2, 2018 by BillsFan4

MIN is without a doubt the best plug and play scenario for him.

26CornerBlitz Posted March 3, 2018 Author Posted March 3, 2018 No Bills mention. Not surprised at all.
ghostwriter Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 I really really want Case Keenum, it won't happen though. I think the Vikings are making a big mistake.
26CornerBlitz Posted March 4, 2018 Author Posted March 4, 2018 Ralph Vacchiano of SNY reports that the Jets are taking the Minnesota threat seriously “after some informal, preliminary talks with his camp this week.” Yes, informal, preliminary talks technically are prohibited. But they happen, every year involving every team. Any team that isn’t doing it has put itself at a competitive disadvantage. So if the Jets have had informal, preliminary talks with the Cousins camp, the Vikings have, too, and the planets are starting to align as to the quarterback’s future. The Jets, per Vacchiano, have heard enough to move on to “Plans B and C and, if possibly D” at quarterback. Although the Jets believe, per Vacchiano, that they can offer more money and a better structure to Cousins, the Jets fear that Cousins would take less to go to Minnesota for a better chance to win.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 I’ll keep saying this. Twitter is full of twits. Half assed comments w/o too much thought because of the character count limitations. jmo
Real McClappy Posted March 4, 2018 Posted March 4, 2018 (edited) It would nice to see the Bills in the running at least to show that we are serious about fixing our biggest problem. Still pisses me off to the Day how we just ignored Bress due to Losman and Edwards back in the day. I'm not saying Cousins is Bress but he would be the best QB we had is so long. I really hope Beane has the plan for the draft or this thing could blow up. Edited March 4, 2018 by Real McCoy

Reed83HOF Posted March 5, 2018 Posted March 5, 2018 Benjamin AllbrightVerified account @AllbrightNFL 4m4 minutes ago Cousins last year: 64.3% 255.8 yards per game, 27 TDs 13 INTs Keenum last year: 67.6% 236.5 yards per game, 22 TDs 7 INTs (two fewer games)
26CornerBlitz Posted March 6, 2018 Author Posted March 6, 2018 Interesting perspective on Cousins that buttresses my contention that he's pretty good, but not on the level of a "Franchise" QB.
Acantha Posted March 6, 2018 Posted March 6, 2018 I think it's more important to ask, "What percentage of the cap should a team dedicate to the QB." That is of course assuming they believe they're signing a quality QB who can win them a Super Bowl. I'm guessing this contract puts them in the neighborhood of 15 - 16% per year (lower number this year, number goes up each year with cap). Is that too much? What's a good percentage? Again, this questions doesn't need to be QB specific. Everyone's opinion on the QB will differ, but obviously Minny thinks they would be getting the right guy.
