We wouldn't go as far to label this as a report, as it's more of a flimsy throwing-at-the-wall by Cole. But it's notable nonetheless since it makes a ton of sense. Long-term talks with Kirk Cousins have broken down, and it has the looks of a divorce waiting to happen. But as Cole mentions, Washington may not even get a shot at Romo if the Cowboys choose to trade him. Even if he's released, Romo and the Cowboys may have a handshake agreement that he doesn't sign with a division rival. Colt McCoy is currently the Redskins' No. 2 quarterback.

im gonna put it here cause of the Skins QB issues, but all I have to say is "Hell No"


More Rumors:

NFL Network's Daniel Jeremiah "would not be shocked at all" if the Redskins and 49ers agree to a trade involving Kirk Cousins at the Combine.

Jeremiah isn't a typical Rotoworld source on the NFL side, but with draft season upon us, he definitely has an ear to the ground and talks with numerous personnel people around the league. He believes there's a "better than 50 percent" chance that Cousins isn't with the Redskins in 2017, and a deal involving Cousins going to San Francisco, possibly along with the Redskins' No. 17 overall pick, in exchange for the 49ers' No. 2 overall pick is in the cards. Furthermore, Jeremiah reports the Redskins' front office still isn't sold on committing to Cousins long-term. Washington seems intent on bungling this offense that at times over the past two seasons looked like it could be one of the best in the league. Cousins would be a massive get for the rebuilding Niners.

I read this from Jeremiah earlier this morning. Sorry, but this sounds like the Redskins would be allowing the 49ers to dictate to them what they would want in exchange for Kirk Cousins. How in the world did Dan Snyder become a successful business man running negotiations like this? I would say screw that. The 2nd overall pick is not worth so much that the 49ers would have a straight up trade for one draft pick for the right to sign Cousins when the 'skins could simply just tag him with the non-exclusive and then move him for two first round picks. Even if the deal wound up being a trade of first round picks this year and a 2nd rounder and a third rounder (instead of another first), then at least wait until Cousins is tagged and have some sort of upper hand.

I'm going to call bullshit on this. There might be a trade with the 49ers, but if it resembles this, then the Redskins front office is dumber than I gave them credit for.
