It isn’t always about the money. Not for Kirk Cousins. Otherwise, he would’ve been a Jet, according to a new documentary that chronicles the quarterback’s foray into free agency.
The Jets offered Cousins a fully guaranteed $90 million contract over three years when the quarterback was a free agent this offseason, he revealed in the film. He passed on the whopping deal and instead signed with the Vikings for three years totaling $84 million with $28 million guaranteed annually.
Instead of Cousins, the Jets moved up three spots in the draft to get Sam Darnold with the third-overall pick.
