Negative Nancy,
A year in football is a decade in normal life. Give Cousins 20million this year, and next year, if he has proven himself, he will understand that it takes a team. This year was simply both sides setting limits and that's ok. We don't want KC taking a low offer and skipping out of town at the end, AND we don't want the team overpaying and being tied to him if the typical redskin qb scenario plays out.
The team has and will pay for players who are worth paying for, if KC shows himself to be a competent qb, he will be with the team for a long time. Money will not be the reason he leaves.
