How much will Kirk Cousins make?
« on: January 31, 2018, 02:25:22 PM »
A starting quarterback in the prime of his career hits the open market.  How much will he get paid and who pays it?   And after him, who gets Bradford, Bridgewater, and Keenum?  And for how much?

I think Cousins ends up with Denver for $150M total with nearly half that guaranteed. The Jets would be the first runner-up.

The Browns are bound to throw a bunch of money at one of those guys. The Bengals could be a darkhorse as well. I believe they can get out of Dalton's contract this offseason for pretty cheap. Unfortunately, Ohio State probably has the most money to spend on a big-time QB in that state.

I don't think it would happen but Bridgewater to the Giants could be interesting. He's only 25. Team him back up with Shurmur and give him a shot at being Eli's eventual replacement. I don't think Teddy is going to be an elite QB but it might be worth a shot. Contrary to what we thought a year ago, the scouting reports are all over the board on this year's QB class.

Good call on one of the 3 Viking QBs following Schurmer to the Giants.  My guess is it'll be Keenum though.  I think Minnesota keeps Bridgewater and lets Keenum and Bradford walk, thinking that Bridgewater has the highest ceiling and is youngest.

Not only will a team overpay for Cousins, they will way, way, way overpay.

I said $25 - $30 Mil per year in the NFL thread, probably for 5 years.

His contract will probably look like 5 years/$150, but I would wager the guaranteed portion will be 3 years/$85 million.

And with salaries for pretty good starting QBs going up like they have, imagine what a guy like Rodgers will want when he comes for his extension.
