So Kirk Cousins is not only the Week One starter for Washington but also the starter for the 2015 season. Which means he’ll hold the job until he loses the job.

So what next? His $3.269 million base salary for the fourth year of his rookie contract is fully-guaranteed without offset. If they cut him, he gets the money — undiminished by anything he’d make with another team. Throw in his $3.449 million signing bonus proration and it’s a cap number of $6.719 million.
