We'd then have to start ripping this roster apart due to our salary cap going to hell. Could we afford Cousins right now? Sure. But use your damn head and think just a little bit into the future...

~10 million dollars will be the difference between Cousins and Blake this year. That isn't tearing apart anything, it's less than one good player. And if Blake does what you expect him to do he'll be demanding 150 million dollars next year, while risking a valuable year of window if Blake doesn't take another step forward.

If Blake does do enough to demand a 150 million dollar contract are you going to be making the same argument that we shouldn't sign him because it will rip the team apart? Of course that's a rhetorical question I already know the answer.

I really think it’s just that simple. 

1: Either pay Cousins a $130+ million dollar contract this year.

2: Pay Blake a $130+ million dollar contract next year. 

3: Draft a QB this year for cheap the next 5 years. 

Worrying about paying everyone else will be an issue anyway you look at it if you choose options 1 or 2.
