Moneyball at the QB position, if you will.
IMO, Cousins' best chance for a big payday is that he plays well enough this year that someone wants to give him the long term deal with the security that he has been after. If he plays lights out and the skins go deep in the playoffs, that is really the worst case for the skins because he at that point would be in the neighborhood range of 22 - 24 million, which the Skins flat out won't pay. But somebody will. Ever since this whole story has been going on, here are the teams that I think have the best chance to get Cousins in 2017, and make sense.
Miami
Denver
San Francisco
New York Jets

Right, because that's just too large of a number, regardless of salary cap percentages, or other nuanced details that explain why average qb's today are making slightly less than that.
