Trading for Cousins makes sense for a lot of teams, if they think he can develop into a good QB. You have all the QB needy teams like Houston, Jacksonville, Minnesota, and maybe Cleveland and Tampa Bay that could play him immediately. Then you have the teams like Arizona and Oakland with veteran QBs that could sit him for a few years before having him start.

I don't think he'll ever be more than a great backup/below-average starter, and if someone offers a 3rd or a 4th plus a later pick, we need to take it. Also, if we're really fielding offers and are actually interested in trading him, we need to do it this offseason, preferably before the draft. We won't get peanuts for him next year.
