March 11, 20214 yr So essentially they converted his $12,750,000 salary into a signing bonus of $11,760,000 and a $990k base salary and added a void year. Can't wait to take an almost $12m cap hit for him in 2023 when he's either playing somewhere else or retired.

"I was like, that can't be true. But they ended up giving a contract to the tight end from BYU [Chad Lewis]." Sooo it worked out
March 13, 20214 yr Stats that matter: Kirk Cousins and the Kings of Garbage Time Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins is the Emperor of garbage time, but what is it? And which other players benefit most during it? Garbage time. You love it when your team is winning, hate it when the team is losing, and change the channel when you have no rooting or wagering interest in the blowout. You also know that garbage time can inflate the stats of some players or NFL teams. Who hasn’t had their fantasy week ruined by a Kirk Cousins-to-Adam Thielen touchdown in the final seconds of a lopsided Minnesota Vikings loss? You might suspect that Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins is one of the kings of garbage-time production. And you would be correct! But other quarterbacks, wide receivers, and running backs thrived in the briar patch of blowouts during the 2020 season. Let’s look at some of the players who saw the most action in lopsided losses (and wins for running backs) last year, examine their production, and determine what all that trash collection could mean for them in 2021 and beyond. Minnesota Vikings QB Kirk Cousins is the Emperor of garbage time Garbage Time Defined Garbage time is like pornography. It’s hard to define, but we all know it when we see it. For our purposes, "garbage time” is when a team is trailing by 16 points or more in the second half of a game. That’s a broad definition that includes some still-competitive situations, like when a team is trailing 26-10 early in the third quarter. Yet, our definition gives us enough plays to analyze players without making things too complicated. It’s broad enough to include every situation in which the game is totally out of hand, the defense has started sitting back in prevent mode, and an opportunistic quarterback can begin fluffing his stats with short passes. Kirk Cousins and other top garbage-time quarterbacks of 2020 Here are the quarterbacks who threw the most passes in garbage-time situations last year. Gardner Minshew, Jacksonville Jaguars: 102 garbage-time attempts Minshew also attempted 78 garbage-time passes as a rookie in 2019. That means that 22.5% of his career pass attempts occurred when his Jacksonville Jaguars were getting blown out. Minshew completed 61.8% of his passes and averaged 6.6 yards per attempt in garbage time last year. Those numbers were lower than his 66.1% completion rate and 6.9 yards per attempt for the whole season. On the one hand, it’s hard to argue that Minshew benefitted from padded stats. On the other hand, it’s hard to be too optimistic about a quarterback’s future who always seems to look gritty and determined when playing from way, way behind. If some team trades for Minshew once the Jaguars lock into drafting Clemson’s Trevor Lawrence, they should brace for a quarterback who is better at losing with groovy grace and dignity than one who will lead them to many victories. Nick Mullens, San Francisco 49ers: 79 garbage-time attempts Mullens had a knack for producing fourth-quarter scoring drives that cut the 49ers’ deficits to 27-13 or 34-24 in the waning minutes in 2020. He completed 70.9% of his garbage-time attempts for 7 touchdowns. That’s right, more than half of Mullens’ 12 touchdowns came when the 49ers were trailing by 16-plus points! Empty calories like those will keep Mullens in the NFL as a "dependable veteran backup” for a long time. Drew Lock, Denver Broncos: 79 garbage-time attempts Lock completed just 55.7% of his passes for 5.2 yards per attempt in situations where opposing defenses generally ease off the throttle and allow some easy completions over the middle. Every young quarterback with a bunch of starts has an encouraging statistical split or two that indicates he is heading in the right direction. As soon as I find Lock’s, I’ll be sure to share it. Matthew Stafford, Detroit Lions: 78 garbage-time attempts Matthew Stafford was sacked 12 times when the Lions were trailing by two scores, which is troubling. Stafford’s Los Angeles Rams won’t get blown out nearly as often as the Detroit Lions did last year. Yet, the Rams are basing their Stafford evaluations and hopes on many things that happened in non-competitive losses. Maybe Stafford was a courageous warrior battling valiantly while everything around him collapsed over the last few seasons. But perhaps a veteran of his caliber and reputation should have been able to generate more completions and fewer sacks when playing from behind instead of digging a slightly deeper hole. Both are probably true to some degree. That’s discouraging news for a team that just mortgaged its future for Stafford. Kirk Cousins, Minnesota Vikings: 65 garbage-time attempts Kirk Cousins is the Emperor of Garbage Time. The Minnesota Vikings QB completed 73.8% of his passes for a league-high 7 touchdowns when trailing by 16-plus points last year. You would expect nothing less. One cannot become THE Kirk Cousins without the gift of being able to throw a touchdown just before the two-minute warning of a 52-33 loss (Week 16 vs. the Saints). Over the last three seasons, Kirk Cousins has completed a whopping 75.6% of his garbage-time passes for 13 touchdowns. It’s almost as if the Minnesota Vikings QB sees a prevent defense at the end of a loss, rubs his palms together eagerly, and proclaims, "Time to make my money!” Somehow, Cousins’ employers are always fooled by the statistical padding and sign up for another overpriced tour of duty.
