  • Quarterback Kirk Cousins

Deal: 4 years, $95.1 million — $23.7 million/year

Space left: $89.4 million

After not coming to an agreement on a long-term contract, talk of Kirk Cousins to San Francisco has intensified. The signing would fill biggest need for the team, and it would be the ending to the saga between the Washington Redskins front office and Kirk Cousins.

It’s would also be a reunion between former offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan and Cousins. Speaking of reunions, which segways us into our next hypothetical signing.
