Trade for Andrew Luck

The price tag would be entirely worth it. Matthew Stafford's contract has shown us just how valuable quarterback play is in the league.

The difference between Tannehill's salary and Cousins's salary would be worth the price of Cousins, even if Cousins were paid like Stafford.

Based on both players' YPA in 2016, Cousins is worth two wins a season more than Tannehill with all else equal. That could conceivably be the difference between being the very weak 10-6 sixth seed the team was last year, having to go on the road in the wildcard round, and being 12-4 and having a first-round bye and a playoff game at home, if not home-field advantage throughout the playoffs.

Major, major difference.

As long as Bill Bellicheat is in NE and Tom Brady is healthy we are not getting a first round bye.
 
Luck most likely won't fully recover. Im happy Tannehill is still our future. Tannehill will win us the SuperBowl

A thought much more realistic and worthy of consideration is the trading or releasing of Ryan Tannehill and the signing of Kirk Cousins.

Cousins is a true top-10 QB in the league, and releasing Tannehill after June 1st of 2018 drops his dead cap hit from the $20.2M it would've been this year, to a mere $2.3M in 2018.

In one fell swoop you erase the relevance of the uncertainty surrounding Tannehill's knee, while improving significantly on even a fully healthy Tannehill.

Cousins is 22-25, has a history of choking when push comes to shove... and has never come close to the 7-1 run and stats that Tannehill put up.

If he's a top 10 QB then Tannehill was a top 8 last season!

The Chiefs got a first-round bye and played a home playoff game last year.

There's no reason why the Patriots and Dolphins can't both be around 12-4.

I have heard rumors of 28-30 mill a yr for cousins next season. IMHO. he is not anywhere near that much better than Tannehill...if at all
