Or 71 million guaranteed for a 34 year old starter who has surpassed 4,000 yards only once in 12 years?

Cousins is your franchise leader in passing yards in a single season. If you check the passing leaders by year for the Redskins history, you will see that 3 of the top 5 seasons (1,2 and 4) are held by Cousins.

How does the team NOT extend this guy?

So you’re saying KC should have gotten $23.5M with $71M guaranteed 2 years ago? Really? We would have crucified the FO for spending crazy money...
