Only loss might be someone like Fowler? We haven't had pass rushers in forever, but now we can afford to just dump em? Hopefully they can strike gold on another Ngakoue in the 3rd round then.

I have never said we couldn't afford Cousins right now. We absolutely could, but I'd prefer to try and keep up a long term success, rather than throwing all the eggs into the basket for 2 years.

We can easily sign Arob too.  

Yeah they might decide to trade him instead of paying him the big money he would command. Depends how he develops.  

Think about it this way. If we're sticking with Bortles we'll be playing him 25+ million in 2019 regardless. 
It'd nice be great if we had a great rookie QB on a shiny rookie contract for the next 4/5 but I don't seem that happening either.

I simply don't understand how people can go from saying Bortles is one of the worst QBs in the league, who simply got carried by a great Defense. Then completely flip it and say he wont get anything less than $25m a year.. What? Don't give me that [BLEEP] that, that's the going rate of a starting QB when so many of you have said that Bortles is god awful.

Well [BLEEP], then lets just sign everybody since we have more money than we know what to do with. 

Pay Cousins the most money in NFL history. Make Ramsey the highest paid CB in the NFL. Ngakoue one of the highest paid Pass Rushers. Give Myles Jack at least $60million over 4 years (Telvin got $50 over 4). ARob at least another $60m+ over 4.

We'll also be able to keep Campbell, Malik and Dareus because you know, money, we got it. Then you add the draft picks, yeah they wont take up a huge amount, but it's still some more $$. On top of everything else. etc etc
