i think 25 million in dead cap in year 3 isn’t great for their cap.


Its not terrible either. And if Penix is clearly ready after year 1, and they are fortunate enough to not need Cousins, they can absorb the entire cap hit in year 2 and move on.

if they really believe Penix is a 15 year guy then there really isn’t a number that doesn’t work… but if they believed that idk why you spend money on Cousins.

get a cheaper option. Sit him a year and tank. Get him a better OL and then go win.

You’re right in that they were smart enough to front load cousin’s contract, and combined what they would be spending on them isn’t bad compared to the total QB market, but the best part of a young QB is playing on their rookie contract.

Penix is also 24 on wednesday. Sit him 2 years and he’s 26.

It just doesn’t make sense.
