Report: Redskins Players Said Kirk Cousins Was About His Numbers, Not Winning

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins played for Washington from 2012 through 2017, and multiple people with the NFC East organization reportedly questioned his commitment to winning.

Stephen A. Smith revealed during Wednesday's episode of First Take on ESPN that there were some in Washington who believed Cousins was more interested in accumulating impressive stats than he was actually winning games.
