Well, Maybe Not

http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18863192/kirk-cousins-requesting-trade-washington-redskins

Quarterback Kirk Cousins has recently appealed to Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder, asking for a trade without a long-term contract in place, league and team sources told ESPN's Chris Mortensen. 
Snyder told Cousins that he should not anticipate a trade, sources said, and the quarterback is prevented from negotiating with teams under the exclusive franchise tag that was placed upon him on Feb. 28.
First report that Kirk Cousins really does want a trade, has spoken to Snyder about it. Very bad news for Redskins.

This blog will follow Cousins if he's traded. NFL should be thought about as a QBs league, first and last. Fans think in terms of teams doing battle, but it's more useful to look at it as dueling quarterbacks. I have no interest in writing about the Skins with a backup QB like Colt McCoy, or a first-year starter who, like most of them, will turn out to be below average.

If KC is traded to San Francisco, I will follow SF.

I'm hoping at least we get one more year with KC in Washington, mainly for investment purposes.
