Joe Theismann: Jets Have Stiff Competition From Jaguars, Broncos For Cousins

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Former Redskins quarterback Joe Theismann believes soon-to-be former Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins “could very well be a good fit” for the Jets, but if he were in Cousins’ shoes, Gang Green wouldn’t be at the top of his list.

The Redskins and Chiefs agreed to a trade Tuesday night that will send quarterback Alex Smith to Washington, paving the way for Cousins to hit free agency.

Of course, the Jets are once again in the market for a quarterback, have more than $70 million to spend this offseason and could free up even more cap space by releasing some players, namely defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson.
