The 3 (Relatively) Realistic Teams that Could Trade for Kirk Cousins

Related Topics: Kirk Cousins, Josh McDaniels

Right off the top, I’ll acknowledge my actual opinion: I don’t believe a trade for Kirk Cousins is going to happen.

In fact, I’m of the belief that Kirk Cousins’ purple career is closer to middle-aged than it is to senior status. An extension seems like a distinct possibility. If that occurs, Cousins could be the QB1 for at least another 2 or 3 seasons.

Regardless, the rumors continue to swirl. Quite often, it’s the San Francisco 49ers that are mentioned as the destination, but that’s not going to happen. Sure, Trey Lance and Brock Purdy present some uncertainty, but they also present massive upside (especially given the cost-controlled deals).
