I don’t think Lynch is the answer there anyway. Denver will definitely be looking for a QB.

To the contrary, that is precisely what you should do. The way the rookie salary pools are structured allows teams to afford situations just like this.

How many games have they even played Lynch? They do not know what they have yet.

But lets say they sign Cousins and (if you are right) Lynch is not the guy, they decline the 5th year option and let him walk. And they have Cousins as the franchise.

And if they find value in Lynch with Cousins there, they hand the reins to him at the backend (heavy) of Cousins contract and let Kirk go. Or they trade Lynch. See Jimmy Garoppolo....
