Rumors: Kirk Cousins will only consider 49ers for long-term deal

In a new twist in the Kirk Cousins saga, ESPN’s John Keim reported Tuesday morning that according to information he’s received, the 49ers would be the next home if Cousins is free to maneuver:

“…The Redskins’ problem is that there’s only one team Cousins will sign with right now, according to one source: San Francisco. So Washington doesn’t have much bargaining power with other teams. This isn’t just about Cousins maximizing his financial value; it’s about putting himself in the best position. Reuniting with a coach (Kyle Shanahan) who loves you in an offense you love? That’s a win-win for Cousins…”

I think we can all agree the Redskins have really, really, stumbled over themselves when it comes to Cousins.
