That leaves us( if we are even interested as a front office) and maybe Arizona and Denver. Who else is he going to play for who can win now? Miami? Please... Buffalo? Maybe... I don't see him going to the Browns, or some other QB hungry team that isn't winning games right now. I think he would take 27-29 mil a year to play in Denver or here. That is A LOT of $, but that is about the going rate for a good NFL QB. All that said, Blake just had surgery. I think the writing is on the wall, we are sticking with Bortles.

You think he would take $27-29m per year to play here because he wants to win? Are you honestly serious right now? That's the highest paid QB in the entire league period, regardless of where he's playing at.... Of course he'd sign here, or anywhere else..

That kind of money has nothing to do with winning, or not. That's the kind of money that says I don't give two [BLEEP] where I'm playing, but I'm about to get paid regardless of what happens over the next 4 years. If we win, I get paid. If we lose, I get paid.

If this team signs Kirk Cousins, he better lead this team to the Super Bowl for (at least) the next 3 straight years, or it'll be the worst signing in NFL history.

Hyperbole much?  Breathe man.  If you sign a free agent qb that is an able starter, that's the going rate.  Matt Stafford is the highest paid right now, iirc.  And what has he ever won?  

It's not unreasonable.  Cousins is the only free agent out there that is worth paying starter money for.  Otherwise, keep Blake and move up in the draft to get your qb (which I hope is the plan).  Take your choice of the top 4 qbs.  My flavor of the week is Mayfield.  I just like the swagger and "it' factor he brings.
