Is any of the contract other than the bonus guaranteed ?

I'd hate to break it to you, but Kirk is without a doubt getting a 17mil/yr average. Think about it, guys like Alex Smith, Ryan Tannehill and Colin Kaepernick all over 17mil/yr and Cousins is clearly better than those guys. Not to mention the cap is going up and so are most of the salaries.


My guess it's going to be a 5 year deal worth about $85mil, with about 25-30mil guaranteed. The only other option will be the franchise tag and that would cost about 19-20mil for a single season.
