I don't love this. I get it, but I don't love it.

Some sound like they need to back away from the ledge over this deal.

I think AOC should have been given the nod.

We are going to pay a guy 10M not to play for us next year.

Like who?
The contract was just announced minutes ago.

So just over $11 I guess? Could he have received the same amount with the Falcons picking up more of it? Anyway it's not a crazy amount more than the other options and he is a better QB than those guys so here we go.

[DanKD]

So does that 10 million all hit next year or get spread out over the 5 years?

By all counts Cousins was great mentor to Penix in Atlanta

I mean it may have been all the time the spent together on the physio’s table but a mentor is a mentor none the less

Surely the only person who thinks they see that money outside of this year is Cousins

Me. I hate this deal. I am not on the ledge but I hate everything about this deal.

I also suppose raiders could trade Cousins prior to the bonus if Mendoza is ready and a qb needy team overpays. That Probably doesn't happen though.

[SuperRaider]

its competition, real competition to start...this is gonna light a fire under fernando as he wants to start and be great day one

Yeah but I don’t want us to go 1-5 with Mendoza as starting QB and everybody calling for Cousin to start; where if we had a crappy backup then we just stay with Mendoza….us Raider fans are notorious for calling for the backup to start straight away

Is the cap hit 1.3M in 2026?
