Kirk Cousins was linked as a potential target to come to the 49ers and reunite with his former coach Kyle Shanahan. But on Tuesday, Washington franchise tagged their quarterback. That does not eliminate the possibility of Kirk coming to San Francisco, but the price will be a lot to complete it. A trade between the two teams could still happen.
The 49ers need a quarterback and Kirk makes perfect sense since he already knows Kyle’s system. But the cost to complete a trade for Kirk could be too high for the 49ers especially given the fact that Washington could lose Kirk after next season anyway.
