San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan and his infatuation with quarterback Kirk Cousins is well documented. Shanahan worked with Cousins during his tenure with the Washington Football Team and hoped to bring him to San Francisco soon after becoming the 49ers head coach. Washington severely mishandled negotiations with Cousins, which eventually enabled him to sign with the Minnesota Vikings in free agency.
Washington’s head coach at the time, Jay Gruden, joined The Kevin Sheehan Show this week and reflected on the Cousins situation. He made some pretty dramatic statements about what the Football Team could have received for Cousins in a trade during his appearance.
