Wow. Don't want to change the subject, but man that feels like we are screwed with Cousins.

Pretty much means we aren't signing Cousins. No way Bruce/Dan going to give him 93mil guaranteed and 27mil/year.

I would lean this way...in fact this was probably the plan all along. They aren't dumb and they know which QB contracts were coming up so the way Cousins has used the tag to his advantage, the Skins will use these type of contracts to say to the fans, "is he seriously worth this?"

Cousins needs to get to the playoffs and get a win in the playoffs to get paid by us...that's the bottom bar. Unless he completely shits the bed this year where he may take a much lesser offer.
