The Jets are reportedly going all-in on Kirk Cousins.
ESPN on Monday cited sources saying the team is “willing to pay whatever it takes” to sign the Washington quarterback, who is slated to become an unrestricted free agent in March.
Washington likely won’t re-sign Cousins after acquiring Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith in a trade last month. And if the team elects to give him a third franchise tag, Cousins will reportedly fight to block it by filing a grievance to the players’ union.
Cousins, who turns 30 this summer and is entering his prime, could command a record-breaking contract in free agency, with the potential to surpass Jimmy Garoppolo’s $27.
