The media heads were split on the Cousins signing because some of them felt he was no better than the guy they already had - Case Keenum.  They let Keenum walk right after their last playoff run and signed Kirk to a biggie.

Yeah. It wasn't that Cousins wasn't better than Keenum. He was obviously more talented. If you could have had him for the same cap hit as Keenum that's a no brainer.

It's just that he wasn't better enough to justify allocating him the cap space that you could have used on Keenum AND two other good starters.

Cousins and Keenum before him benefitted from having a top 5 WR group in the NFL every year. It's either been Diggs or Jefferson with Thielen. While none of those guys are Davante Adams, there is probably no other team that's had two guys that good over the last few years.
