I really love how well Cousins and his agent appear to be playing this offseason. The moment they franchised him last off season he got a load of leverage and he's played well enough this last year to maintain and strengthen it.
Obviously we'll wait til we see how it plays out but good on him for not playing the good solider and signing on for less than he can get.
I am super excited about the prospect of him playing like a top 10 QB next year and hitting the open market to see what he can get. Understand that right now it looks like the 49ers but there may well be several other premium spots opening up in 12 months time, with Rape, Brees, Palmer, Rivers (though not sure Chargers count as premium) and even Eli all close to retirement.
I think Skins may well franchise and then trade him, albeit that would be a super tough sell to their fans, but otherwise they're gonna pay top $ for him now while not winning the SB and then either get nothing but a comp pick in 2019 or part their cheeks royally and pay him $30 per and over $100m guaranteed next offseason
read a report over the weekend that Scotch McLoughan isn't calling the shots at the Skins in the way people think and actually it's the dufus CEO Bruce Allen, so...let's assume they make the worst possible call
