Its all situational and that’s not under Cousins control.

I don't blame Cousins for getting his money. He is now at the point where he is a very wealthy man and approaching his mid 30's. What is most important at this point in his career? Trying to have a legacy and win a championship? Or to handcuff your team cause you are counting 45 million against your cap?
And you are bringing up Dilfer but that is a rare situation. The Ravens had an elite defense. Maybe if Kirk took less at some point then the Vikings could compete for a championship. He'll probably need to do that if he wants to try and win one.
And remember, the Vikings got worse after they signed him.
