Christian Hackenberg's visit shows Redskins keeping eye on future

The Washington Redskins have maintained their belief in Kirk Cousins -- to a financial point, that is. They also continue to look around, just in case.

The Redskins will host Penn State quarterback Christian Hackenberg on Tuesday, a source confirmed. The Redskins also met with him at the scouting combine in Indianapolis two months ago (along with Michigan State’s Connor Cook and Ohio State’s Cardale Jones). Hackenberg’s visit is the first reported one by a quarterback.

It presents an intriguing situation with Washington. But it really doesn’t impact Cousins in the short-term -- Hackenberg is not viewed as a passer ready to start immediately.
