Browns & Jets will have much more salary cap flexibility to chase Kirk Cousins than the Broncos.

I’m told theyll offer Cousins a lower-than-you’d-think average salary, but VERY HIGH guarantees (more than Derek Carr‘s).

Gives Cousins guaranteed money. But easier on Denver cap short-term.

Yep. Elway wouldn't pay him close to $30M if he went after him. I could live with Cousins at <$25m but would prefer <$23M.

Why do you care what he’s paid? Are you cutting the check?

I don't want what happened to the Ravens to happen to the Broncos.

Denver is going to be left without a chair when the music stops. We are going to own theirs ass for the next ten years.

Red Dawg is on top of the world now that Alex Smith is gone :-)

Pretty much everything you say is wrong, and foolish.

You thought alice was going to land you a 2nd and the top CB in the NFL.

You got one 3rd and a player TBNL which means some depth dude after giving up 2 2nd's to land him.

EPIC.

Horrible idea. More gauranteed $$ means Denver is stuck with Cousins. Big risk

Broncos are now the front runners to land Cousins with Washington out of the picture.

I can't wait to land a guy who throws 4k a year coupled with our D! Plus Cousin's has a great TD to INT ratio, something your rookie doesn't have.

What a great day!

That's more than I thought they'd get. I thought at best and over paying a little was a 4th rounder.

Our GM knows how to manage expensive FA signings and the cap. Yours didn't that is why he is in Cleveland.

Watch John work his magic yet again.

I kept hearing here that they were going to get 2 1st's for alice.

Can't wait to watch the 1st time starter struggle throwing INT's next year and this place wanting alice back.

Yes. Waited my whole life to see an arm like Mahomes in KC red.

So, when does the FA signing period start... I'm guessing there is a deal instantly announced for Cousins in Denver. And, I'll applaud that move.

That would mean that they tampered, which would be unethical and illeg - oh. You're right. They'll sign him.

The Chiefs just fucked the Broncos over really bad. If Alex Smith is getting $70 million gauranteed and $23.5 million average a year, imagine what Kirk is going to ask for.
