Show Notes
The Las Vegas Raiders have signed quarterback Kirk Cousins with a clever contract move, keeping costs low this year. Cousins receives $1.3 million from the Raiders, while the Atlanta Falcons still owe him $8.7 million from his old deal. A fully guaranteed $10 million roster bonus is set for 2027. This setup avoids offset rules, allowing Cousins to pursue his true market value without the Raiders paying the full amount upfront. The Raiders salary space tightened due to a botched Maxx Crosby trade with the Baltimore Ravens. The deal is considered a clever loophole but raises questions about loyalty in the league. NFL front offices remain cutthroat, pushing contract and trade edges, with more twists expected as the offseason progresses.
