But if you want to talk about it for shits and giggles then fine. I'm more interested in thinking through the realities, personally.

As for your comment on his competition, I agree. The availability of Bradford and Bridgewater, not to mention possibilities of Alex Smith, definitely muddies things for Cousins. But ultimately, Cousins is the cream of the crop so I think someone is likely to lock onto him with a high dollar offer. We're starting to see believable rumblings coming from the top beat reporter covering the Broncos that they're all in on him, even going so far as to describe how they'd clear the space (Talib) to make it happen.

I think the availability of Bradford, Bridgewater and others is plenty of reason for us to make a strong but reasonable offer and let the chips fall where they may. I don't think I'd personally support signing Cousins to a $27M per year deal when Teddy BDG might be had for $8M less.

From 13:50 to 24:30, Cooley breaks down film on Teddy BDG

He doesn't like him a lot. Good legs, accurate on short and medium balls, but inaccurate on deep balls, bad pocket passer, bad eyes, tends to escape the pocket too quickly when his first read isn't available, doesn't read nor react to pressure efficiently.
Cooley sees him as a 2 to 3 years project at best, not a year 1 legitimate starter.

But, he only played one full season and as you said he'd be pretty cheap, so I still doesn't hate the idea.

Him or Alex Smith and a 4-5th round QB pick behind is fine by me.
Smith would be more expensive but I think he's a bit underrated.
