I don't hold ill will towards Cousins at all, for the record. I wish him success in Minnesota (except when he plays us). I'm not sure he's worth the deal he got, but that's the premium. I have a hard time believing him that money didn't matter so much when you go for that deal, which just allows you to sign another deal when you're 32 and still in your "prime" as well, though. I just wish our front office had handled his situation better and gotten him signed long term earlier, when he would have been cheaper. I think he's a top 10-15 guy in the league, and can play like a top 10 guy when he's on, and slightly worse than top 15 when he's off.
You could have had him locked up for 20 mil a year two years ago but your team management is second only to the Browns.
