Kirk Cousins - Extension?

Stephen was never really there to be a 3tech so can't say he was replacing Richardson. I like you Bos wanted Richardson signed over Barr which we may know now would have been the right move.

I will skip the FA market and go to the draft minus my guy Javon Hargrave, wanted him last year and really want him this year.

So draft prospect 3techs that could be stars per my opinion
1. Brown-Top 5
2. Kinlaw-likely gone before 25
3. Davidson- played DE but will be a 3t in the league...sleeper number 1
4. Gallimore- 2nd rounder
5. Hamilton- My sleeper number 2

Senior bowl he bulked up to 297. Thats a guy with his bull rushing abilities who could be a great 3t

Get used to it folks. Cousins is getting an extension. Like it or not. My bet, 5 years, $150 in new money, with $50+ guaranteed. And guarantees for the following years in the March timeframe for the next year.

You're like the Grim Reaper.

I dont think Cousins will try to break the bank with the next deal, I think it would be a team friendly deal if he stayed. You have to remember that was his first real contract, the Skins kept tagging him. Regardless how you feel about him on the field, off the field he is a class act and I truly believe he would love to win one for us. I doubt he wants to move his family again, not saying hell sign for peanuts but I wouldn't expect to see his extension something crazy. Regardless if im the Vikings Im not doing anything until after this season, you have to see the direction of the team before making this decision. There are going to be a lot of new faces on the defensive side most likely, and we have to see how the Oline progresses. Ill say it again, Kirk is who he is, hes not Mahomes or Wilson who can make the off schedule plays, if we are going to extend Kirk we NEED to fix this Oline. That means putting all capital into it until it is an asset on our team. You have diggs and Thielen locked up, but we want to be a run heavy team..Just makes me wonder. Dont get me wrong I didnt want to lose any of these guys when there extensions came and it is absolutely amazing how we have been able to keep everyone together, but its almost like we are building a Madden team instead of building a team around our core guys. Thats why Belicheck is the greatest, he adjusts his scheme to his players not the other way around.  

I don't think he and his agent timed his current contract to end with the beginning of the new CBA for him to take the same amount of pay as his last contract, if not less. The thing Cousins forgot about is, he forgot to prove he deserves that much. His numbers are decent, but he's clearly not a winner. Best case scenario, some loser franchise like Jacksonville will pay him what he wants because 8-8 is a whole lot better than their usual 4-12.

Unless Kirk and his agent both come to their senses, which agents never do, then they will absolutely try to break the bank on his next deal. The last deal was 3 years for a reason.

It would be, but no way his agent is going to let him do that. If he's a good agent anyway. Cousins belongs with a team that isn't expected to win. That would be the ideal environment for his particular head case problem. Less pressure, and the fan base is content with 8-8 or even sniffing a 6th seed. Jaguars, Jets, Bengals, that sorta team. That would be funny if he ended up with the Jets after all xD.

Not really.  When you look at it, well, maybe I wrote wrong, it would average out to $33 a year.  That's what  I get for staying up late.   Take his 31 this year,  put 25 of if it in the in  the signing bonus plus 25, then add another 150.  Comes out to about 33 a year.   So first year he would get his 31 plus 25. but only count 16 against the cap.  If I did my number right.   Of course the 150 is the lowest figure I see, it could be higher.  But I think he doesn't try to break the bank.  Just a gut feeling.
