He's legit. A new QB, Cook and Jefferson you can build on. But that is 2 years off because of Cousins contract. I do think we need to ride this losing streak out to the top of the draft. not because this team is tanking on purpose, but because we need to develop these young corners, offensive line and linebackers.
Draft a QB next year. Cut Cousins (I understand it would be a 20 million dollar cap hit for one year) and sign Keenum next season to transision. Cut Barr, Reiff and sign a guard if one doesnt develop.
Then build everything around a new athletic QB.
I'm in agreement, but I think the cap hit for cutting Cousins is actually much worse. I think if they cut him soon enough, it would "only" be $41M over the next two years, and could be as much as $56M if he is on the roster on the 3rd day of the 2021 league year. But I think there is no escape from that and the GM who gave that extension needs to go with him.
