Cousins signed a three-year, $84 million deal that is fully guaranteed
Cousins receives a $3 million signing bonus. His base salaries are $22.5 million for 2018, $27.5 million for 2019 and $29.5 million for 2020. In each year, he gets a $500,000 workout bonus. That's $84 million. So it's $26 million in Year 1, $28 million in Year 2, $30 million in Year 3, a top 5 cash flow. There is no hefty signing bonus, but the fully guaranteed $84 million is far more than the previous high of $60 million. In addition, Cousins has $2 million worth of upside potential in each year tied to Super Bowl-related incentives involving several factors. If his team wins the Super Bowl every year and the rest of the parameters are reached, the deal can be three years, $90 million. Cousins also has a no-trade provision and a no transition tag provision.
the position brings wealth that's a given....it also has big time responsibilities
when placed in this kind of leadership role.
Cousins has to be Peyton Manning in Winter Wonderland.
