Official Free Agency 2018

He will soar up the fantasy football draft boards
Thinking 4th round
 
Kirk Cousins plans to sign a three-year, fully-guaranteed contract from the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday, sources tell ESPN.

 
lol at the people that think there is no chance of Cooks being extended. Belichick has no problem paying guys market price (or even topping the market) if they are still in their prime, which Cooks is just entering.

Also Bill isn't someone that doesn't look ahead, as of right now there are no WRs signed past '19. Edelman will be 33, Hogan will be 30. Gronk also as of right now up after 2019.

Cooks will be extended and I bet it gets done before the 2018 season is over.
 
So if Cooks didn’t accept the really bad deal you proposed he should be traded?
I propose he's not worth top 10 receiver money and if he wants that then yes trade him.
 
Then trade him

Wait, you propose we should be trading the WR debatably worth $16M who is going to play for just under $9M? If Sammy Freaking Watkins is worth $16M, Cooks and OBJ should be pulling $20M+.

On top of being the "blow the top off the D" piece we've begged for since Moss left, he's insanely happy to be playing here AND we haven't been able to see how devastating him paired up with Edelman will be. Trading him seems like the worst move we could make (besides throwing piles of money at mediocre players just because other teams are doing it).
 
No I'm not saying trade him this year.
I'm saying franchise and trade next season.
 
They have a really good young receiver at a team friendly price. You don’t trade that when you can keep him and still get a third for him after the season. You can also look at it as a two year deal with a franchise tag and pay him around 11-12 a year over two years. You can also tag him and trade him as the fish did with Landry.
 


Has anyone ever made more money than Cousin? This guy just came off making 50 million guaranteed and now add another 86 million guaranteed, all for a guy who has never won more than what 8 games in a season??

Man would I love to have been his agent!
 
Maybe. The FT for WR in 2019 could be around $18M, though.
I thought about that.
Maybe Cooks loves it so much he signs a team friendly deal.
But he knows he will be on the field after Tom decides to close the book on a Goat career.
Guess depends on how he would get with the QB of the Future.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mason Rudolph.
