If Cousins had big cojones, he would deliver during big moments such as the last game of the season last year when the playoffs were on the line.

I can understand if our dysfunctional team was running Jay Gruden out of town, that he would feel this way. But Jay, the coach who believed in him and gave him the opportunity (at the risk of his own status with the team) is still with the team and pretty much in control.

But this is all a negotiation ploy to either get the team to trade him. Because this is all he can do, he has little or no bargaining chips in this situation.
