Kirk Cousins 2018 Outlook
Cousins was the top free agent this offseason after stringing together three consecutive 4,000-yard/25+ passing touchdown seasons with Washington. In March he agreed to become the Vikings' new quarterback by signing a three-year, $84 million deal that is fully guaranteed. It briefly made him the highest paid player in football history (Matt Ryan took over that distinction in May), but signing a multi-year, fully guaranteed deal was an even more historic achievement. Cousins made $44 million over the previous two years playing underneath the franchise tags which means he'll have earned $128 million over five seasons. With the finances out of the way, it's time to get busy. Stability and a Lombardi Trophy are what the Vikings expect from Cousins, who brings 49 consecutive starts to a franchise that has started four quarterbacks in that span. In turn, the Vikings provide Cousins with a comfortable situation, including last year's No. 1 defense and an array of talent at the skill positions from Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs and Kyle Rudolph to Dalvin Cook.
Kirk Cousins 2017 Outlook
Cousins signed his franchise tender in March, giving him by far the highest base salary in the NFL this season, and it's guaranteed and can't be rescinded by the team. Now that Cousins has signed the franchise tag two years in a row, he could be franchised again next year. But a third franchise tag would guarantee him a $34.5 million salary for 2018. Washington could decide to apply the transition tag to Cousins next year, but that would allow him to freely negotiate with all 31 other teams, and Washington wouldn't be entitled to any compensation if he leaves. Or he could sign a lucrative long-term extension before training camp. So, good for him. But there are issues here from a fantasy perspective. The Redskins have lost both their starting wideouts in free agency with DeSean Jackson now a Buccaneer and Pierre Garcon signing with the 49ers. This leaves Jamison Crowder and Josh Doctson, who missed his entire rookie season with a chronic Achilles issue, as their top returning wideouts to go with free-agent acquisition Terrelle Pryor and star tight end Jordan Reed, who has his own problems remaining in the locked and upright position. Bottom line? Despite a dysfunctional front office, the departures of OC Sean McVay, D-Jax and Garcon, the Redskins still have a fantasy-friendly quarterback. And not everybody does.
Kirk Cousins 2016 Outlook
With Robert Griffin III gone, Cousins is officially in charge after throwing 29 touchdowns and 11 interceptions last season. It will be his first offseason as the team’s full-time starter, which the Redskins say will help him develop in the subtleties of the position. Cousins is certainly confident in his abilities -- it's why he's fine playing under the $19.95-million franchise tag. Redskins coaches are also confident after Cousins ranked ninth in terms of passer rating (95.1) on throws outside the numbers last season. His average air yards per throw overall was 7.75, which ranked 20th -- one spot behind Drew Brees and one ahead of Tom Brady. And Cousins ranked 12th on throws traveling 20 yards or more with a 93.7 rating. His yards per attempt of 7.67 was eighth in the NFL, one spot behind Cam Newton. The Redskins believe Cousins' play is sustainable because of what they saw last season: Throwing with anticipation, taking command of the offense, playing in rhythm. Cousins didn't beat a team with a winning record during the regular season, but the Redskins aren't concerned. Fantasy owners looking for a reasonably priced QB with considerable upside shouldn't be concerned either.
