The $11mm number I mentioned earlier comes from the fact it would have taken at least 28+ mm on a transition tag, at the minimum, to retain Cousins. We get Alex Smith this year for 17 mm. This is savings for statistically the same player and an average of 5mm less for what it might have taken to keep Cousins here for the same amount of time.

The likely scenario with Cousins was that we could only keep him for one more year.
