2018 veteran QB market

[Kel Varnsen]

So $20M for a declining Palmer or $30M for a PB QB like Cousins. Still debatable?

What’s a PBQB?

We actually wouldn't be on the hook for that huge contract. Technically the Colts would be responsible for 22 million of it if we traded for him next off-season as a dead-cap hit. However it of course could be structured in a way that the Cards would be responsible for some or take on some of it. Essentially, it would be a 4 year deal with AZ at 79.325 million with no guarantees. Basically 19.8m a year, and two firsts. (We were already likely going to use one anyways so it's really an extra one at this point)

The Colts would get 2 (1st round picks) and save 80m off what they could have paid if he stayed the remaining 4 years.

But I don't really care to have luck so it's moot imo.

I would shy away more from the injury than salary. If you have it scoped correctly the contract wouldn't be prohibitive then (I guess).

Pro Bowl I would guess?

Ah. That makes sense. Thanks.

It is for me. Cousins is not a top 5 QB IMO. He wants to be paid in the top 3...no freaking way I would do that.

Either Teddy Bridgewater, Ryan Tannehill or Kirk Cousins it will be.
