CLEVELAND – It’s rare that a quarterback as talented as Kirk Cousins becomes available via free agency. So it’s no surprise that Cousins been the focal point of the 2018 NFL offseason.
The Washington Redskins sealed Cousins’ free agency fate back in January when details of a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs for quarterback Alex Smith were first revealed. No trades can be officially finalized until the start of the new league year at 4 pm on March 14, but the news all but guaranteed that Cousins wouldn’t be back in the nation’s capital next season.
Since then, every quarterback-needy team has been linked to the 2012 fourth-round pick, including the Cleveland Browns.
