Cousins now a bargain

Kirk Cousins was a bust last season, and now he’s turned into a bargain, writes Neil Greenberg in The Washington Post:

“Minnesota’s offense produced 0.2 expected points added per game on Cousins’s throws last season, per data from TruMedia — that’s the number of points scored above what we would expect given the down, distance and field position of each play. Based on the relationship between performance and salary over the past few years, that showing should have been worth $1.1 million in cap dollars. It was a far cry from the $24 million cap hit Minnesota’s front office earmarked for Cousins that season.”
