Probably pushing $80MM total.

Proof that you can get a fully guaranteed contract if you'd like one and don't want 5+ years.

ETA - apparently $84MM guaranteed.

So Cousins is now guaranteed to have made 128 million dollars between 2016-2020

Holy shite

Fully guaranteed is fricking retarded. He just changed the NFL QB landscape for contracts. Rodgers is fricking drooling.

Why is Kirk Cousins commanding so much money, let alone fully guaranteed contracts? He's okay, but certainly nothing special.

Three words as to why he went to Vikings "Minnesota Tax Laws".. And of course they're a better organization...

In New York Cousins would've had to pay state tax in both NY (extremely high) AND Michigan where his legal residence is.

But Minnesota and Michigan have a joint tax agreement where even if you live in Michigan and work in Minnesota you only have to pay tax for one state. It's an incentive that will save Cousins millions upon millions in actual income AND he gets to play for a stacked team and not the inept Jets.

So even if the Jets were offering more, cousins could still take home more in Minnesota with a smaller salary.

It's a win win and if you don't think the tax issue mattered, your insane.

Doesn't make much sense - they had Bradford, Bridgewater, and Keenum
