QB free agency doesn't look that great for next offseason; and Scot McCloughan already had a bad experience in Seattle when they got Matt Flynn as the top FA QB and he flopped.
On the flipside, just because Cousins gets an extension it doesn't mean that the team will not get a young QB in the next year or so. I mean look at Green Bay way back, when they had Favre and drafted Rodgers.

Favre was in his 14 th year and 10 years older than Cousins when GB drafted Rodgers. Unless there is some crazy good qb who inexplicably is there when we are picking anywhere in the draft I would rather hold Colt and maybe get a veteren who can still play to back up KC. I think it would be a huge mistake to reach at all for a qb when KC is finally going into an offseason knowing it is his team.
