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 offense in Washington, this is the move I expect Redskins owner Dan Snyder to make. 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.?

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- Penn State fans gave a standing ovation after the first of the universitys three videos honoring the late Joe Paterno, while some Temple fans in the upper deck turned their backs in protest.One red-lettered sign, behind the Owls fans, said, He turned his back. Well turn ours.To commemorate the 50th anniversary of Paternos first game as head coach -- a 15-7 win over Maryland on Sept. 17, 1966 -- Penn State decided to honor the longtime coach with several videos on the impact to student-athletes and by having two co-captains from his first team participate in the coin toss before Saturdays 34-27 win.The first video aired during a break early in the second quarter. Beaver Stadium announcer Dean DeVore directed an announced 100,420 fans attention to two high-definition video boards for a two-minute video featuring highlights of Paternos career.As soon as Paternos familiar image -- shirt and tie, thick glasses and rolled-up pants -- appeared, fans erupted and kept cheering as DeVore read from a statement highlighting Paternos commitment to student-athletes and academics.Before he became head coach in 1966, Joe Paterno spoke about recruiting more football players who were exceptional students, DeVore said. He was determined to bring to Penn State students who could earn a world-class education and graduate and play football at the highest level.Another video played in the third quarter, this one dedicated to Paterno and his widow Sue, and it featured their $4 million donation put toward expanding the library and local hospital.Outside Happy Valley, the universitys decision to recognize Paterno sparked widespread debate. Paterno was fired in 2011 amid the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal, and he remains a controversial figure nationwide.At Penn State, however, Paterno is still revered. Outside Beaver Stadium, at the former site of his bronze statue -- which was torn down in the summer of 2012 -- fans placed knickknacks like balloons and posters in memory of the coach, who died in January 2012 at age 85.Former players and alumni also left dozens of bricks to symbolize the wall that was demolished behind the Paterno statue. The wall celebrated player and team accomplishments.I do appreciate that [Penn State is] doing something, said Francoo Harris, a former Nittany Lions and Pittsburgh Steelers player who has vocally supported Paterno in the past.dddddddddddd Its a good first step.Harris delivered a speech to a crowd of at least 100 on the small, grassy hill where the statue once stood. College Football Hall of Famer Lydell Mitchell, who played at Penn State from 1969 to 1971, signed autographs and chatted with fellow supporters there.Only one protester, stationed near the media gate, was seen during the pregame festivities. He held a sign that read, You forgot already. Another protester showed up Friday for the private lettermen reunion to honor Paterno, holding an identical sign near Gate A.That protester, Robert Hoatson, said he drove from New Jersey and had protested at Penn State before. Hoatson runs an organization, Road to Recovery, that helps survivors of sexual abuse.When I heard Penn State was organizing a tribute to Joe Paterno in any way, shape or form, my blood boiled again, Hoatson said. Its outrageous.In May, unsealed court documents revealed that a man said he complained to Paterno about sexual abuse by Sandusky in 1976 but was rebuffed. University president Eric Barron has said the allegation was not substantiated in court or tested by any other process.Paterno was never charged with a crime related to the scandal.Tom Kline, the attorney for the first of Sanduskys victims to reach a settlement with Penn State, said in a statement that those celebrating Paternos accomplishments should remain mindful of his role in the scandal.While Penn State has chosen to officially celebrate the achievements of Joe Paterno, of which there have been many, no one should forget the failings which caused so much pain and anguish to the victims of Jerry Sandusky who have suffered so much for so long, Kline said.Paterno finished his career as the winningest coach in FBS history with 409 victories but was fired in November 2011, shortly after Sandusky, Paternos former defensive coordinator, was arrested for child sexual abuse.Sandusky was convicted in June 2012 on 45 of 48 charges and is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence.The Associated Press contributed to this report.
