Quarterback contracts are an interesting conundrum in the NFL. The dance between the Redskins and Kirk Cousins is a good example. Cousins probably isn't "worth" what he'll be getting paid, but that's the rate for a QB now. The problem is that then the team has so much money tied up in the QB that the rest of the team suffers, or they have to hope to find good young (read: cheap) talent in the draft. But the league is so QB driven, that you NEED to have a good QB.
With these superstar QBs the real question is "where would they go, if not here?" Who else would pay Stafford or Cousins $20+million a year? Would they WANT to play for that team?
Just an interesting situation, IMO.
