I like what the Raiders have done and I'm happy that Cousins is not going to be in Green Bay. Raiders added the Super Bowl winning offense, Linderbaum at center and Nailor at WR. They have Cousins, Jeanty and Bowers. This team could triple its 3-win total from last year.

Wonder how much Kirk was able to fleece the Raiders for. Seems like a good fit.

Comp update: Kirk Cousins will sign a five-year, $172 million deal with the Raiders that in reality is a one-year, fully-guaranteed $20 million deal that also contains a club option for two years at $80M.

The Falcons will pay Cousins $8.7 million this season, the Raiders another $1.3 million and Las Vegas also agreed to pay its new QB a fully-guaranteed $10 million roster bonus on the third day of the 2027 new league year.

And maybe most notably, it also sets another new mark: this will be the 11th straight NFL season in which Cousins’ contract will be fully guaranteed.

Kirko! Master of Mediocrity. 1-4 playoff record. Around a 53% winning percentage as QB. But the undisputed GOAT of making the monies.

Nothing screams NFL free agency more than the above stat.

Raiders and Giants gotta be the teams favored to make the biggest record leap over 2025?

I think his win percentage would've grown a bit without the Redskins' bipolar ownership and our tragic IOL play...plus, having a HC that actively hated him for years didn't help, either.

He'll always be among our most maddening QBs to me, because he certainly had his faults (I've yet to see a perfect person in this life), but could set records with JJ and was "guilty" of having an agent that could play the pay game. Given how quickly salaries blew past his "controversial" numbers, the people that still hiss about that are also bizarre to me.

If Kirko had been kept upright at even a mid-pack level, that win percentage in both regular and playoff games would've grown considerably. Maybe it's miraculous that it took years for him to get hurt, unlike Wentz....

One of my favorite Kirko moments....

When the Ravens said sike on the Crosby deal I thought surely, nothing this offseason will be funnier than that.

I was way off LOLLLL. And again it's the Raiders. Incredible work by Kirk and his agent. $20M this year to maybe be a backup. Last year too, really. Absolutely peak.
