PHOENIX -- The Washington Redskins haven’t abandoned hope for signing quarterback Kirk Cousins to a long-term deal, which team president Bruce Allen stressed once more Sunday night. Cousins holds the leverage now in terms of money, but Allen said they still have future options.
Of course, that means this could drag into next offseason as well.
One slight risk for Cousins now is that his preferred destination, San Francisco, could end up with another quarterback in the draft. If taken with a high pick, that’s the guy the 49ers would have to view as their future quarterback.
