Kirk Cousins isn't delusional about his future after the Washington Redskins traded for Alex Smith and signed him to an extension.
After two years playing under the franchise tag in Washington, Cousins was surprised to find out the team had acquired a new veteran passer, but he's already looking forward to his next step, likely on a new team.
"I expect to be a free agent come March 14," Cousins told Sirius XM Radio on Friday, according to Nicki Jhabvala of the Denver Post. "We'll see if that plays out, and if it does, it's a unique opportunity I look forward to. Haven't had a chance to pick where I'm going to play since 2007, when I chose to go to Michigan State."
Cousins says his top priority when choosing a new team will be which gives him the best chance to win. However, he pointed out winning can be a fickle process in the NFL.
"In this league, the winning thing comes and goes," said Cousins. "You look at what Jacksonville was able to do this year. Nobody expected that back in July, but they built a great team and they did a great job and went all the way to the AFC Championship."
Players for the Denver Broncos and Arizona Cardinals have already begun campaigning for Cousins to join their squads.
