I don't know, but likely $25m+.

25 mil isnt to much imo.  Id sign him

3-4 years ago when this team was terrible I'd agree. However, we're going to have plenty of guys to sign this off season and in coming off seasons who we'll need to pay.

Tying up that kind of money should only be for QBs who will win you at least 10 games every single season, no matter what happens around them, or how bad the team is. That's elite QB type of money and Cousins isn't elite. Paying out that kind of money to a QB hurts the rest of your team, unless he is elite and can carrying scrubs to at least 10 wins.

Stafford signing the richest contract is part of the market getting higher, but mostly due to the fact that they were backed into a corner and couldn't do anything else but pay him whatever he wanted.
