Skip Bayless Baffled by Kirk Cousins' Massive NFL Contract

0:00On April 7th, Skip Bayless just came out and said he can't wrap his head around Kirk Cousins raking in top tier NFL cash. With his fresh Las Vegas Raiders contract, Cousins guaranteed career earnings are set to hit around $342 million, vaulting. Him past Tom Brady into second place all time, right behind only Matthew Stafford. This drop comes right as Cousins climbs that historic earnings ladder, leaving folks like Bayless scratching their heads over how it all lines up. Bayless spilled this on a clip from Arena Gridiron, admitting he stuck on his old take of Cousins as just solid but not elite, shaped by years as a... Die Hard Cowboys fan rooting against him. He pointed straight to Dallas, owning a 9-3 lifetime record, versus Cousins, calling him the best of the rest, back when he feasted on, Washington Teams. That disconnect between the bad Cousins is securing, and how some still see his game keeps the debate alive, proving perceptions run deep even when the numbers scream success.
