Kirk Cousins

Heard the Steelers are top candidates to land Cousins. Thoughts?

 

Injured Reserve liked your post...

 

Pass, in his mid thirties and coming off of a serious injury, he also would probably cost 30 million or more.

 

I 'heard' a half dozen names were coming here, so there is that, last year he extended with the vikes for 35 million in a one year deal. Coming off that injury he likely can't command that, but still won't necessarily be cheap. He is coming off an Achilles injury and will be 36. Cold be ready, but are you really wanting to sink big money into someone who is on the backside of his career? It may come to this, but frankly I would give a bigger offer to MR (bigger offer in BU terms) than to bring him on.

 

Looking at the teams with recent success, they had the advantage of a good QB on a cheap rookie contract which enabled them to pay for supporting cast.

therefore, i'd hate to use significant cap space on an average QB and only have average support personnel. You'd only be .500 like that for years and not win a playoff game in years despite occasionally making the playoffs.

 

Mitch Trubisky clone. No thanks.

 

No way

 

Did his barber tell you this

 

Probably heard it from TMZ.

 

Not at the expected $35m. Not after coming off a major injury. Not at 36 years old.

 

I wouldn’t hate it. As he is a free agent they’d have huge flexibility in terms of how to set up his contract and spread the cap hit out. Id have no issue giving him a very good deal but if he is looking for another fully guaranteed contract like he got in Minnesota then I’m not interested, it’s too risky with his injury history and age.

Three years $90m with the third year being an option year and a couple of void years on the end would be fine, then review at the end of year two. This would mean going absolutely all-in in 2024/25. You are looking at Cam being gone and TJ being on the wind down at that point so you’re going to be in rebuild mode regardless.

Personally I think if they make a QB move it’ll be a trade for Fields. MT liked him coming out by all accounts and he has shown enough upside in flashes to make Tomlin believe that he can ‘fix’ him. They’d probably have to give up their second round pick and a 2025 third / fourth or something like that.

 

Now that's a bit hard on the guy

 

LOL. Um, no. Laughably no.

 

It is the combination of the major injury and his age that makes me think it is a bad risk for the sort of money it might cost. Cousins was still very, very good before he got hurt, but is he really the guy to do more than maybe win a playoff game? This is assuming he can come all the way back and stay healthy at his age, which is a big assumption.

 

Well his age really doesn't bother me but the price tag plus he is a Glass Joe type doesn't move my needle.

Your argument is valid for what he can bring to the table though.

But they are not going to bring someone in like that to sit behind Pickett. The reality is Pickett will get every mulligan and be QB #1. Just watch.

Even is they bring Mason back which I believe won't happen. I'm sure his agent will find a better suitor and he will get a nice raise.

One thing that better happen is that scrub Mitch The Pick best be gone! What a major disappointment! And a drag on the cap.

 

Kirk Cousins = Matt Ryan with Colts

Cousins would fold like a cheap tent with this O line.

 

I stand corrected. Did not know.

Still he won't be coming to Pittsburgh I believe unless they have given up on Pickett which is not the way they do business with 1st round picks.

 

Pretty sure Detroit is gonna stick with Goff now..... maybe we can put out an offer for Hendon Hooker

 

Rather stick with Mason. He didn't produce those numbers however if you average it out he would be 10 tds, 2 int, 70% and 2xx some yards. He was in a less than ideal position coming in at the end of the season.

Rather there be potential for a future. Kenny, Mason, (youth not named Fields.)

 

hardly

 

don't you love it when people just make crap up?

 

QB will come here IF we have a TALENTED OC.

chicken and egg theory

Kirk would LOVE this run game, take a modest contract - and build that OL and D thru FA and draft - get 2 years from him.

See if Kenny can SIT and LEARN
