Cousins will cost a hell of a lot more than $3 million more than Smith.
I'm thinking he ends up costing 5/$120 million with $75 million of that guaranteed.
That's more than a 40% kicker in AAV over what Smith's making For a quarterback who will be entering his age 30 season and beginning his physical decline. And that doesn't even get into the massive guarantee that will eliminate any possibility of an escape hatch for at least 3 seasons and ensure that we won't be seeing a young QB take over this franchise until 2021 at the very earliest.
The Chiefs need to get out of the business of signing expensive re-treads, especially if they hope to keep guys like Peters, Hill, Jones, etc...
