Another team on the rise, theoretically, with cap room and a major media market to become a hero in. Hopefully some new offensive weapons thru draft. A zombie for a head coach.

UntouchableCrew Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 If the priority is money, go where the biggest offer is, likely the Jets. If the priority is championships I'd go with Jacksonville. Far fewer obstacles in the AFC and the AFC South over the next five years, a stacked defense a great RB. With him they might have won the Super Bowl last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the Jets are going to do whatever it takes to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Why are the Jags apart of the equation? They said they’re sticking with Blake.

Even upon retirement they stay in interesting places like la and nyc Once a person accumulates over a certain amount of money, adding more money doesn't change your life in any capacity. Kirk Cousins could have 50 million, 100 million, 200 million in the bank and his day to day life doesn't change much from when he had 10. If he gets to the tres comma level maybe he could ball out harder (Billionaire) but that's not what we are talking about here. He can play until he's 50 and not make a billion.

RutgersJetFan Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 These are all wonderful philosophies and scenarios to wax upon, but Cousins is a huge PA/union dude.

Sperm Edwards Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 3 hours ago, bitonti said: the best private schools in the country are in New England. You sorted for high schools not elementary schools (or more relevant, nursery schools). Cousins has 1 child right now, who isn’t even 1 year old yet. Private HS rankings matter little (if not zero) to him right now. Then you’d have to resort beyond that by religious elementary or K-12s, since there’s every likelihood that’s where his kids will go (if he’s still on the same team 5+ years from now). The single best one in New England - in Providence - is literally #50 on the list you provided, with a handful of schools in NYC/NJ ranked higher (some significantly higher). Next-highest in all of NE is around #200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be_a_Jet Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 You take money out of the equation its the Vikings all day easily. They have a great coach, great new OC who was a quarterbacks coach, top 5 defense, electric new running back (coming ACL injury but still), one of the league leading receiver tandem in Thielen and Diggs, play in an indoor stadium, great fans and stable franchise. Also did I mention their offensive line is pretty solid? It's the Vikings and its not even close. FORTUNATELY --- CASH IS KING. Money talks, a lot, so we are gunna have to give a substantial amount of money with guarantees to get him. Which, I don't have a problem with. Sign him and be done with it. Get a damn franchise QB and see what we can do. - Pay the man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freemanm Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 One of the big questions is: if Cousins is given a monster contract, can he handle the expectations? Don't tell me that none of you will be calling for his head if he comes in here and the Jets have another 7-9 or 6-10 season - even if he plays well. He played generally well for the Redskins, but they have wallowed in mediocrity for the entire time he's started for them. What will be different about the Jets?

He played generally well for the Redskins, but they have wallowed in mediocrity for the entire time he's started for them. What will be different about the Jets? Jets had a team capable of winning 5 games this past year. We will have about 70 million in cap space after signing Cousins (probably a little less after some other deals for current young players that are close to free agency) and we will have 3 picks in the first 45 or so picks of the draft. So ABSOLUTELY, the expectations will be vastly higher for him than they would be for a rookie or a Mccown/Bridgewater type and if you know anything about Cousins, he isn't one to back down from a challenge. He isn't the kind of guy that will be happy to collect a paycheck, he's the kind of guy that will want to prove the world wrong. Assuming the team upgrades on offense (RB/OL/WR) I think we should expect to have a top 15 (maybe even top 10) offense and be in the playoff hunt year 1 and deep playoff runs during the first 3-4 years of his contract. There will be pressure on him and I am not worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
