I was never mad about not shelling out the money.
I like Cousins... I liked him in his draft, I liked him as a free agent... but a QB can only overcome so much. Cousins would look way worse behind our OL than he does for the Vikes.

But I kinda expected this... someone signs him for big money and then he has a rather so-so season, making it look like a bad deal. Honestly, I'm not sure what team he could have went to and it would have ended up looking like a good deal.
The teams wanting him weren't very good outside of Minny. It was the best scenario for him but the whole team has taken a step back. The defense, the OL and run game..

But I bet Minny doesn't regret it. You gotta risk it for the biscuit (and Keenum hasn't been lighting it up in Denver)
And they get another shot with a pretty solid team and good QB next year, whereas someone like us will be riding with a Kessler/rookie combo
