The Jets were reportedly looking to do “whatever it takes” to land Kirk Cousins, and it now appears that is the case.<\/p>\n

Gang Green likely knows that there’ll be some serious suitors they’ll be competing against in the Cousins sweepstakes, and the team appears ready to back up a Brink’s truck in hopes of landing him.<\/p>\n
