Goff hopes Cousins doesn't sign with division-rival Cardinals

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Jared Goff offered some high praise for Kirk Cousins on Friday and is weary of him joining the NFC West.

The Washington Redskins traded for Alex Smith earlier this week, which will almost certainly spell Cousins' exit from the nation's capital.

Goff was asked about the prospect of Cousins signing with the Arizona Cardinals and it's clear he wants a respectful distance from the Redskins quarterback.

"I'm hoping he doesn’t," Goff said on "PFT Live" Friday. "He's a hell of a player. I'm a big fan of his, big fan of what he's done."

Goff feels that Cousins may be underrated and it's clear that he wants the Cardinals to pursue other options this offseason.

"He's tremendous," Goff said. "I don’t think he gets enough credit for what he’s done. Some of the throws he made (that) we see on film. You rewind it, you watch it again. It's unbelievable."
