The Jacksonville Jaguars reportedly had Kirk Cousins as their top target to fix the quarterback position this past offseason but were “unwilling” to pay what it would take to get him here.
That’s according to Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports, who said the Jaguars were ready to pay somewhere “in the range of the $20 million to $24 million” but when his price tag went up to closer to $30 million per year they backed out.
The Jacksonville Jaguars’ decision to extend embattled starting quarterback Blake Bortles after the 2017 season came only after the team did extensive research on a possible signing of Kirk Cousins, league sources said, but they balked at the strength of that market.
