Only way Cousins doesn't hit the open market is if we tag him and/or give him an offer that his agent knows other teams won't match. I think both of these options are bad. Best option is to let other teams negotiate with him freely, and then decide if you want Kirk back at that rate or whether you can fill the gap with a cheaper veteran. Honestly? Ryan Fitzpatrick is having a comparable year (slightly better) than Cousins and he is only making $4M/year... If you can get decent contribution from a vet, I'd rather go that route knowing everything we know now about Cousins. Of course, it all could change the next 5 games.
