Doesn’t work as well for positions that peak early (e.g., RBs like Le’Veon Bell). Extends team control until they’re on the downslope. |

The New York Post's Brian Costello was told the Jets could offer Kirk Cousins $60 million in the first year of his contract.
New York is reportedly "willing to pay whatever it takes" to land Cousins, so this does not come as a surprise. It also makes some sense for the Jets, who have the cap space to both front-load the contract and make moves to improve the rest of the roster. The Broncos, Vikings, and Cardinals are also teams to watch in the Cousins sweepstakes. www.rotoworld.com |

Will be interesting to see what he does... he has a few good options. There's no doubt that he'll be more than handsomely compensated. Question will be, how much does he want to saddle the team up with on his cap number. This is where the cap bean counters get paid to work their magic. Teams won't pay it if they can't afford it, the question becomes what does it limit them from doing elswhere.
Von Miller is recruiting him hard - wonder if he'll take a restructure to make it happen? I don't see Cousins going to NY really, honestly think the Vikings and the dome will be pretty appealing to him. |

I believe next year Kirk Cousin will be the first QB to get 30m per for roughly 18% of next year's salary cap. That really cuts into the contract dollars available for the other 52 players. |

If you're a team who has a TON of cap room this season, why not give him $60-$70M in 1st year comp, tie it to this years cap and then you'd have pretty low cap numbers the rest of the way out.
Maybe you could get the guy a huge number this year and something closer to 10M than to 25M for the remainder...? |

Is steinbrenner running the Jets now? This feels so Yankee like.

And hopefully forces them to pay out the ass to trade up to #1 to grab Baker Maysuck.
And Baker promptly shits himself, the team, and the community by being a complete dickweed. Forcing the Donks to to dump him (ala Tebow) and fire horseface. Hey, a guy can dream. |
