Report: Kirk Cousins trade to 49ers 'not dead yet'

[countryroads316]

Kirk Cousins and his long-term status has been one of the biggest storylines of the offseason and it appears that it could still be a hot topic heading into next week's NFL Draft.

According to Sporting News' Eric Galko, trade talks between the Redskins and San Francisco 49ers for the quarterback are "not dead yet" and that Washington is high on Mitchell Trubisky out of North Carolina.

"As I reported in March, the Kirk Cousins-49ers connection is sincere, and with the ongoing issues in negotiations between the Redskins and Cousins, it’s not dead yet," Galko said. "The Redskins like Trubisky a lot. If the 49ers don’t get Cousins, Kizer might be their target in Round 2 and Nathan Peterman their target in Round 3."

Cousins was franchised by the team earlier this offseason at a price tag of a fully-guaranteed $24 million in 2017. A long-term deal with the Redskins does not appear imminent, leaving them in a bind where they either franchise him in 2018 at $32 million or transition tag him around $28 million.

Washington has maintained that they would like to keep him on a long-term deal, but reports indicate they are still lowballing him with a contract around $20 million per season with low guaranteed money.

It aint BS until the NIners have picked a player in both the first AND second round as far as Im concerned.

Until then Bruce and Dan are more than capable of completely fucking this thing up.
