Even before the Redskins traded for Alex Smith, Kirk Cousins probably sensed that he wouldn’t be back in Washington next year. Cousins and the Redskins haven’t had any contact since the regular season ended, a source tells Adam Schefter of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Of course, now that the Redskins have acquired Smith and extended him, they’ll be going their separate ways. 
The Cousins saga will go down as one of the strangest storylines in Redskins franchise history. Cousins fully emerged from Robert Griffin III’s shadow in 2015 and led the team to the NFC East title. Unwilling to commit to Cousins in the long term, the Redskins used the non-exclusive franchise tag to retain him on a one-year, $20MM deal. In 2016, Cousins placed third in the NFL with 4,917 passing yards, but the Redskins were still unwilling to give him a fair market value contract and tagged him for a second consecutive year. This time around, the Redskins punted rather than offering Cousins a top-tier contract or tagging him for a third time at a cost of $34.47MM.
Finally, Cousins will reach the open market as an unfettered free agent. QB-needy teams flush with cash like the Browns, Jets, and Broncos will be eager to speak with Cousins in March and some club out there make Cousins an even richer man with a four or five-year deal. In time, the Redskins may come to regret their course of action with the 29-year-old.
Please go to the Jags so Fantasy football players everywhere can rejoice…plus that makes them legit Super Bowl contenders
I wish. Unfortunately it looks like Jags are going to go with Bortles yet again. They fail to see that the team is a good QB away from being a legit Super Bowl contender. Bortles is a great guy, but not a good QB.
Kirk in Denver would be a great addition for fantasy players, and then I can complain for a whole season of Demariyus Thomas as Emmanuel Sanders gets all the redzone looks.
He has New York Jets written all over him. His personality fits and they need a veteran to lead that team. They can concentrate on a RB at 6 if they want or best overall player. And build around him instead if a Rookie
Get real dude Jets are awful. He’s in his prime and wants to win. Denver is written all over him.
A QB won’t automatically turn everything around in Denver. Their offense is horrible all around.
Well they won’t be talking anymore
He’s a Midwest guy. Maybe he’ll come back home to the Midwest team that needs him the most……..Cleveland.
Someone needs to be the Browns savior why not Cousins
Because he’s Kirk Cousins not Jesus. He’s going to go to a team that gives him the best chance to win.
The Browns have a slew of picks and Josh Gordon is back. The turn around with the Browns could be quick.
The Browns had multiple first round picks in 2012, 2014, 2015, and 3 in 2017. How did all those picks work out? I guess they suddenly learned how to draft?
They got #1 and #4 this year and would have given up the #4 plus to get Cousins. Allen has screwed this whole mess up. He got into front office football on his dad’s name but his dad was a coach and couldn’t pick players and neither can Allen. He is the worst pick Danny has ever made and that’s saying a lot. I can’t believe he trade Cousins for a QB ready togodownhill and he gave them Fuller in the deal. How stupid can you get?
I don’t think Jesus could save the Browns.
I agree i don’t think anyone can save them
Jesus can save any and everyone!
lol Jesus is everyone’s savior.
I see him in Denver. I think it would be a good fit for him. Plus we all know they will dish out for a QB. I believe that’s one of the biggest things holding that team back is lack of QB. Face it the ones they had now are backups at best.
Brock osweiler ultimate finesser
It makes me sick to see the Skins do this. Good QBs like Kirk a way to hard to get. He’s been with the team a long time and is a great person. I’m pissed big time
