That means his contract directly effects the quality of free agents we can sign in the future. Speaking of Madden, if he does get all that cash, he better get his clutch score way the fuck up. We need a lot more Green Bay and a lot less New York from him when the proverbial lights come on.

Our front office put us in this predicament. Cousins could have been re-signed last year for an average of $20M had the FO bothered to tender a reasonable offer. Agree that Kirk needs to be more clutch in the biggest games, but giving him a running game would help. Our running attack has gone to Hell since the Shanahan's were dismissed.
