Arizona would make sense, but they'd also be better off using their draft picks to trade up for a young QB.
That leaves the Browns, who can pick whoever they want and have extra picks to burn on Smith. But does John Dorsey really want to deal with KC? And why wouldn't they just sign Josh McCown to be the placeholder in case their QBOTF isn't ready?

Here's the thing. Yes they could all make a play for Cousins....but you're going to be bidding against each other and whoever gets Cousins is going to severely overpay for his services.
And the Bills, Cardinals and Jaguars don't have the draft capitol to move up for a QB. The Bills have the #21 and #22 picks which aren't going to be worth enough to move up into the Top 10....let alone the Top 5 for a QB. And if a team DOES have enough to move up....you're basically drafting that QB and forcing him to start because you have nothing else.
I still think the best team for Alex is the Browns but I'd be down with the Cardinals or the Jaguars giving us a 1st for Alex.
