While the New York Jets will pursue free-agent quarterback Kirk Cousins, they won't risk overspending to land the 2016 Pro Bowler.
The New York Daily News' Manish Mehta reported Thursday the Jets "aren't going to hand Cousins a blank check."
Mehta's report comes after the New York Post's Brian Costello reported Monday the Jets were considering offering Cousins $60 million guaranteed in the first year of his contract. The deal would allow the team to have more salary-cap space than New York would have with a more traditionally structured multiyear contract.
