The Broncos need quarterback Kirk Cousins more than he needs them. Is John Elway too proud to beg?
While nobody mistakes Cousins for a truly elite NFL player, he represents the most certain path back to the Super Bowl for a quarterback-needy team, and now that it’s obvious Cousins is done working in Washington, all of Broncos Country is twitter-pated about his impending free agency. Cousins brings a swagger to the huddle that’s easy to like. But does anybody really love the idea of giving $100 million guaranteed to a 29-year-old quarterback who has never won a playoff game?
