Cousins is not taking $22M/yr at this point. That ship sailed last year. Hell, even last year, I don't think Cousins takes $22M/year. His tag number is going to be $24M - so that is where the baseline of negotiations start. I would not doubt if we don't hear about Cousins getting around $27M/yr and around $60M guaranteed. I would think if he settles on $25M/yr, then they need to hand him a pen and be done with it.
