Everyone keeps talking about how the Vikings are going to keep the players on the team due to cap space. Well let's look at that. In 2018 there are 4 teams (Niners, Lions, Saint and Falcons) that are paying out more in cap space for QB's than the Vikings. In 2019 that goes to two, the Saints and the Cardinals, with the Lions only 100k behind the Vikings. Now in 2020, the last year of Cousins deal, the Lions will still be paying more for QB's. However, the Saints will lose Brees, the Falcons will have to extend Ryan. The Packer will have to pay Rodgers. The Rams Goff. Right now their are 11 teams that have zero cap space allotted to QB's in 2020. Think about that. 1/3 of the NFL has no QB signed for 2020.
Browns
Buccaneers
Cardinals
Chargers
Cowboys
Falcons
Jets
Patriots
Rams
Seahawks
Titans
None of them have QB's signed for 2020.
The following have less than $1.3 million allocated for QB's in 2020.
Eagles
Broncos
Bills
Steelers
Packers
Giants
So, while everyone is talking how Cousins contract is going to have an impact on who the Vikings keep, I think they should be looking at some of these other teams and asking the same question.
