Kirk Cousins was a free agent in 2018. He signed a bonkers 3-year deal with a shit ton of guaranteed money that was expected but still mildly scoffed at by the NFL.
He signed yet ANOTHER lucrative 3 year extension with similar high levels of guaranteed money.
Both occurred while Paton was the dude in the front office in charge of that kind of thing. Pro player personnel scouting.
