This past Sunday, as the Bears and Packers were warming up to take the field – which was a brisk 11 degrees, by the way – I sat down to answer questions about contracts, player injuries, and whom I may or may not be related to. Check out the answers below.
Will take a few questions as we await start of Week 15. To get out of the way, no, not related to @Gil_Brandt (that I know of). #AskAndrew

@AndrewBrandt @Gil_Brandt Are you related to Rem Brandt?

@AndrewBrandt how big of a contract do you expect Cousins to get? #AskAndrew
— Ken Brack (@bronzeKGB) December 18, 2016
Less than he would get were he a “true” free agent. #FranchiseTag#AskAndrew https://t.co/Yq8puKHBUH

@AndrewBrandt what was cost to pats picking up Floyd on waivers? His contract or renegotiated? #AskAndrew

Three weeks pay, assumed contract, let Cardinals off the hook for guaranteed $. #AskAndrew https://t.co/Ahv3T7EYhN

@AndrewBrandt why do players complain about the Franchise Tag? They are getting paid. Is it long term security in case of injury?
— Shawn Foster (@kcflatlander) December 18, 2016
Players want security, a ring on their finger. Teams would usually rather date.#AskAndrew https://t.co/fMXWW7HKY7

@AndrewBrandt How likely is it that Romo gets released by Dallas instead of being traded?
— Ciaran Gillespie (@CiaranG_Fez) December 18, 2016
Going to be hard for another team to commit to him as a starter (injuries), so why not stay where he is? #AskAndrew https://t.co/4xVihGKz2R

@AndrewBrandt Who pays for a players surgery? Team or player?

@AndrewBrandt #AskAndrew will Rodgers be ok today or are they really that concerned? Also, GoPackGo!!

@AndrewBrandt who will be starting QB with jets next season ?
— Michael farley (@Mfarleyfawlz) December 18, 2016
One of younger QBs on their roster. Holding on to a veteran another year won’t work. Time to evolve. #AskAndrew https://t.co/uuGkugMGGE

@AndrewBrandt How/Why did you decide to move player agent to front office? Money, job security or other? #AskAndrew
— Geoff (@GeoffKooze) December 18, 2016
Packers called me out of the blue. Had had a few clients there, including @Hasselbeck. #AskAndrew https://t.co/5NOfDrulYo
