In 2016 Andrew Luck got a deal that was worth 140 million (80 guaranteed). Are you telling me that Cousins was NOT worth half of that in 2015 or 2016?

I disagree with the statement 100%. Don’t forget we had just gotten done with a first round pick quarterback who lit up the world in his first season then fizzled out. Now imagine that same thing happens with cousins, who at the time did not have a great body of work. A long term big money contract has a lot more ramifications for the player not working out than a rookie contract
