Bruce Allen, laughing at trade rumors, says long-term Cousins deal still the plan

PHOENIX — There have been too many Kirk Cousins trade rumors for Redskins President Bruce Allen to keep track of, he says, but none of them are real.

Speaking Sunday at the Arizona Biltmore, the site of the NFL’s annual meetings, Allen said that the Redskins have no intention of trading Cousins and still have their sights set on reaching a long-term deal.

“Yeah. He signed and obviously we have an option for next year on him but our goal is to get a long-term deal. That hasn’t changed and we’ve had those discussions,” Allen said.

Really, the Redskins have a few options for 2018, it’s just that none of them are exactly ideal.
