Our NFL Insiders predict what kind of deal Kirk Cousins could receive in the offseason. Plus: Which teams could get upset in Week 13? Will the Steelers re-sign LeVeon Bell? And who should we expect to see in the Super Bowl?What type of deal would you give Kirk Cousins this offseason?Matt Bowen, NFL writer:?Applying the franchise tag to Cousins for a second straight year is an option, but I see the Redskins paying Cousins market value in the range of $20 million to $25 million per year. Thats a lot of cash for a quarterback who is still working on a smaller sample size of tape as a high-level starter. But given Cousins production this season and the talent base on offensee in Washington, this is the move I expect Redskins owner Dan Snyder to make.dddddddddddd Sign Cousins to a long-term deal and continue to build the defensive side of the ball.John Clayton, senior NFL writer:?Id offer Cousins a four-year, $96 million deal. If that doesnt work, then Id franchise him. Sure, the number will go up, and you dont get the quarterback position locked up if you go that route. The Redskins should make a case to Cousins -- if he goes for too much money, it would limit their opportunities to build the roster around him.? ' ' '
