If you’re one of those hoping the San Francisco 49ers pull off some sort of move to land Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins this offseason, you better curb your enthusiasm.
Yes, the Niners need a quarterback in a bad way. Colin Kaepernick’s future with the franchise remains up in the air, and fellow QBs Blaine Gabbert, Christian Ponder and Thad Lewis are hitting the free-agent market. It makes little sense to bring any of the latter possibilities back.
So Cousins, a free agent as well, to San Francisco makes sense, right? After all, the Niners are going to have a plethora of cash to throw at the 28-year-old veteran.
