Trading Kirk Cousins– Why make the deal: I’ve written about trading Cousins before at length so I won’t go into all the details. The fact of the matter is the Redskins have an excess of supply at the most important position in the NFL. Yes Cousins hasn’t played that much, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t … More »
