“Coach Gruden called me the next day and communicated that my desire to draw the process out through March was going to make it tough on them,” Cousins said. “They couldn’t afford to wait so they had to make a move. They wanted to do a deal, but because I wanted to go a little longer it put them in a tough spot. So they made the trade. I understood that. He said, ‘I wish you all the best. We had a good run and look forward to seeing you in the future.’ “
That, of course, should be good news for Redskins tight end Jordan Reed(provided he stays healthy), who had a good rapport with his former quarterback, Kirk Cousins.
