That would be very interesting to see Cousins in Minnesota. I think he'd love it there as they are stacked! I do see him in Denver though. They still have a great defense, and I honestly think a better QB gets Denver back in contention. I wouldn't count out Arizona, though looking at it, I think if he truly wants to win and have a shot at the Super Bowl, he'd want to go Minnesota or Denver. I think Minnesota has a better coach and should be on his very short list. If he goes to Cleveland, then he's just looking for a big pay day.
And if he goes to the Jets.. He's a sadist. They're not great, and he'd be under that NY media scrutiny.
I don't think Minnesota is in the cards. They're going to keep ONE of the QBs they have now.
Denver I think is most likely. Elway will go after him.
Garrappolo's contract today will likely influence what he signs for. He'll get more than that.. And that was alot.
Assuming guys like Rosen and Darnold are as good as advertised and with the Browns possibly thinking about going with Allen at #1 I would think a lot of QB needy teams behind Cleveland and NY Giants would want to see what is going to play out in the draft. That could put a bit of a damper on the Kirk Cousins market.

Few QBs who start their first year do well.
Brady, Cam Newton, Eli Manning somewhat (he only started half), Troy Aikman.. I'd say Aikman is the poster child.. He had such a horrible rookie year.. He might be the only 'modern' quarterback to do that bad and then become a star QB with the same team. We can possibly throw Deshawn Watson in here. Though honestly, there's not enough time there. I do think he'll be a great QB long term, but.
There's a lot longer list of QBs who flamed out after being a first round pick and starting right away.
so, even teams that draft a QB.. some of them are going to be looking for a veteran. I doubt any will be looking at Cousins, however, because they won't be looking for a 3 to 5 year QB. They're going to be looking along the lines of a journeyman.

That's because the list of quarterbacks to flame out in general is longer than the list of quarterbacks who don't.

I think after seeing the contract the Jimmy G is going to sign, it just means an even bigger pay day for Kirk Cousins. All the more reasons to be thankful we're going with Alex Smith.

I think the Jimmy G contract combined with the 4-5 legitimate rookie prospects in this years draft are going to persuade more than one team to not consider Kirk Cousins as a serious option.
The Jimmy G contract amount was definitely a surprise; it had been reported that the 49ers were going to try to get a contract done rather franchise him, so I wasn't surprised that they got a deal done. The money did surprise. I guess I assumed that he would end up getting signed for $20 to $22 million per but was definitely surprised that they reset the market for him.

Haven't we been down this road before with Ryan Mallett? no, sorry.. Matt Cassel.. And he had started more games.
Though I do think Jimmy G will have a better overall career. Belichick didn't want to give him up. That should be somewhat telling.
