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 believe Alex Smith’s contract is about $71M guaranteed. That’s a lot more than half of $80M. And no, he wasn’t worth anywhere near AL money at that point. If you continue to say that we should have written this contract for KC two years ago I will respectfully continue to disagree. As I said earlier, hindsight is a wonderful thing...
