Don't quote me on the numbers but close. Brady took a pay cut on his last contract, 10 M or so a year salary. Cousins who has never played a meaningful game in his NFL life let alone a not only a 1 time Super Bowl winning MVP, not 2 time, not 3, you get my point. I have heard different guesses from the talking heads on TV and NFL Radio that Cousins is looking for 20 plus Mil a season over 5 years and he has never won anything. I don't like him, not personally I don't know the kid. I don't like his fake, phoney rah rah shtick on the sidelines or in the huddle. You would think guys rally behind that but they don't. It's too over the top. These are men not HS Jr's listening to Sr. QB 1. The 1st time I heard him Miked up I said you have to be kidding me. They move the ball a yard and a half for a 1st down and he's grabbing interior lineman's face masks telling them how great they are. One actually pushes him away. There are many things that go on between whistles that we fans don't get to see or hear. I have the feeling he is a joke in the locker room, much like some players on the Giants felt Eli was. Tiki Barber said it on national TV and lost his job over it.
Like I said earlier RB's do not have the value they had 10 years ago. I'm sure Bell thinks he's worth every penny he is asking, or should I say demanding but he is not. It's all numbers from statistical PHD's and they say he isn't worth what he wants. He can play in Seattle or Cleveland or for whomever wants him if he so chooses for the same money as in Pitt, or as his management team has managed to get him to play for less than offered. I would want a rebate from that group of geniuses.
