Oz Crap and the Texans have totally screwed the QB market from here on in!
The market always goes up for QBs, and the cap keeps increasing.
Look at the money that guys like Flacco and Romo have been on.

If your view is that your team is willing to pay more than Cousins was actually seeking, why would the deal not have been done?
Huh? Read again.
Team was offering Cousins between 16-18m AAV before the 2016 season. Cousins wanted 19-20m AAV. They tagged him.
Team is now likely to offer Cousins between 21-22m AAV before the 2017 season. Whether or not Cousins accepts that is up to him, I suppose.
You maybe a wordsmith, but your understanding of negotiations is not very good. Cousins would be beyond stupid to ask for a multiyear contract that is equivalent to the value of the franchise tag because the team can just slap him with the franchise tag and have no long term commitment.Yeah sure. Ultimately what you're suggesting is now greater in value than what he was seeking last year, though it is a different year.
If what i read is correct, I can't see that Cousins would accept less than the tag value for this season. He said give me the average of the cap over two.
They decided to save on the first year by only paying the actual tag value, which was lower. In that circumstance, were you him, you'd almost feel bound to demand the tag value for this year, otherwise you'd have been stiffed.
Of course the value of long term security will appeal to some degree, but there's a difficulty with treating your quarterback like that in negotiations: they have memories. The prisoner's dilemma plays more than one round.

Its why I asked a genuine question. Its not trying to be clever but to gauge ideas.You maybe a wordsmith, but your understanding of negotiations is not very good. Cousins would be beyond stupid to ask for a multiyear contract that is equivalent to the value of the franchise tag because the team can just slap him with the franchise tag and have no long term commitment.
If you want to predict how much Cousins will get, its safe to look at recent contracts for good qbs (its fair to call him good, he almost got 5k yards this season). I would assume Brock and Bradford contracts maybe used as some sort of baseline.

Cousins baseline is probably more like 85/4 than 75
I wouldnt think there's any way that he'll come back for under 20 a season.
I haven't seen anyone in this thread suggesting he would...?
As a starting base lineGet your eyes checked.
GC suggested 75/4 a few posts ago.
Can the Packers beat the G men?Can the G men beat the Packers this weekend?
Can anyone beat the G men?Can the Packers beat the G men?
Not DallasCan anyone beat the G men?
Would have to against Tony as wellDepends on whether Eli needs to score more than 14 points to win.
Against Rodgers fair chance he will have to.
It was so much easier when the Cardinals were the whipping boys of the division.Thread starting to deliver again.
