Or 71 million guaranteed for a 34 year old starter who has surpassed 4,000 yards only once in 12 years?
Cousins is your franchise leader in passing yards in a single season. If you check the passing leaders by year for the Redskins history, you will see that 3 of the top 5 seasons (1,2 and 4) are held by Cousins.
How does the team NOT extend this guy?

They didn't extend him because the owner and his butt buddy didn't draft him. He was better than RG3 and they basically never embraced Cousins. That's why Cousins never got a LTD. It was all about egos, pride and hurt feelings.
