As Andrew Brandt says, first-ballot Business of Football HOF'er:

@AdamSchefter
Compensation update: Falcons are giving QB Kirk Cousins a four-year, $180 million deal including $100 million guaranteed, per source. It’s $45 million per average per year.

Just name the business of sports Hall after Kirk.

@spotrac
With $100M guaranteed on his 4 year, $180M contract with the #Falcons, Kirk Cousins has now ensured over $330M in career earnings.

Kirk Cousins' bank account is elite.

I think it is a bit funny that in the past 10 years, the only "big money" QBs to have ever won a Super Bowl have been Stafford with the Rams (2022), Manning with the Broncos (2016) and Brady with the Bucs (2020).

Aside from that, the other winners have been:

* Brady with the Pats (2015, 2017, and 2019) - who we know was underpaid in NE.

* Wilson with the Seahawks (2014) - he was still in his rookie contract I believe.

* When the Iggles won in 2017, Foles was their backup, and Wentz (who took them there) was in his rookie contract.

* And the three wins by the Chiefs have been with Mahomes in his rookie contact and with the team friendly 10-year deal he is currently in.

This is crazy, given that Tom Brady earned $450 million over his 23-year career.

We need to adjust for inflation, Tom was in the NFL for 12 years before Kirk.

Remember when 20 million a year for a qb was insane? Kirk is now making 45 million a year and the other elite qb's gotta be close.

Dude has been able to fleece two teams into paying him elite money while mediocre play and only in the regular season.

A true businessman.

That is just sour grapes. His play has been elite, just not successful in getting to the Superbowl (wouldn't be the 1st and probably not the last elite QB in that boat).

Cousins' stats are elite and that's what has gotten him paid. But I don't think you can be considered an elite QB with a 1-4 career playoff record.

That said, I think this is best chance to go all the way with Atlanta. They have an offensively loaded team. I don't know how good is their defense, but I'm sure Raheem Morris will make them good if they are not.

Elite? ROFL.

Cousins is the king of garbage time stats. I'll upgrade his play from mediocre to above average that but that's it. Man isn't clutch at all though.

Interesting to see where Fields lands now with Atlanta and Pittsburgh (presumably) out of the market. Bears options are reducing

Aaron Jones released after GB signed Jacobs.... to the Jets now?
