BLOOMINGTON, Minn. — Kirk Cousins was seated at a table in the Mall of America food court Wednesday when two reporters from New York approached.
The Redskins quarterback, who is about to be the hottest free agent in the NFL, politely declined to discuss his pending free agency or the Jets. As one of the reporters walked away, he said, “maybe we’ll talk in a few months.”
“We’ll see,” Cousins said with a smile.
The trade of Alex Smith to the Redskins, which will become official March 14, made it clear that Cousins will be a free agent when the league year begins.
