Kirk Cousins may have been in negotiations to be one of the highest-paid players in NFL history, but Washington Redskins president Bruce Allen still can't seem to get his name right.
After Allen referred to his starting quarterback as many things other than "Kirk" on Monday, Cousins was asked for his reaction.
"I've been called 'Kurt' my entire life ... Doesn't matter. It is what it is. It's fine. Not a big deal," Cousins said Tuesday on 106.7 The Fan, according to The MMQB's Albert Greer.
After the Redskins and Cousins failed to come to terms on a long-term agreement ahead of Monday's deadline, Allen released a statement disclosing the details of the contract negotiations. Many viewed it as a tactic to win the hearts of the fan base. Cousins, again, brushed it off.
"I understand where he and the organization are coming from ... Doesn't rub me the wrong way at all," he said.
