In case you are late to the party, the New York Jets missed out on their first choice at quarterback this offseason. Kurt Cousins plans to sign a fully guaranteed, record-setting three-year, $84 million contract with the Vikings on Thursday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. By average annual value ($28M per season), Cousins will become the highest-paid player in NFL history.
Opinions about Cousins went both ways for Jets fans. However, the long-time Jets fans immediately wondered what reaction Mike Maccagnan and company would have. What plans did this regime, who is getting a second chance at rebuilding the franchise after messing up the first time, have in place?
