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

Washington Redskins Quarterback Kirk Cousins will only look to the San Francisco 49ers for a long-term deal, reports suggest. Well, we kinda knew that already.

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. If I were Cousins, I’d be mad, embarrassed, and just ready to go. Not giving Kirk Cousins a contract clearly shows the Redskins organization is ready to do something different – a theme fans have become all to familiar with. Cousins has developed into the quarterback that we need that after this fiasco, we don’t deserve. He deserves better than what the Redskins organization has shown him. When it comes down to the basic bolts of this process, this is downright disrespectful.

Now maybe the speculation shown in this process is wrong. We’re all spectators watching from the stands to see who’s going to make the next move. However, if I were Kirk Cousins, even if they pulled off the miracle contract in the 11th hour, I’d leave. Everyone wants to feel wanted. 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan wants him. He believes in him. He’s willing to bet the future of an already rocky organization on it. That’s how you get quality players.
