4. Kirk Cousins to the San Francisco 49ers
Is a reunion between Cousins and Kyle Shanahan going to happen? It certainly could if Cousins and Washington decide to part ways. Recent news is suggesting that both parties could be looking to move on from one another.
Cousins recently and publicly poured on the praise for both Shanahan and John Lynch. And, boy could the 49ers use a fresh new quarterback. Colin Kaepernick recently met with the 49ers’ new brass, which was to be expected. But it’s also been reported he wants to opt out of his contract and test free agency.
If Kap decides to look for greener grass elsewhere, the 49ers will desperately need to replace him. Backup Blaine Gabbert is slated to become a free agent, and the team’s overall goal is to see improvement at the quarterback position.
Cousins is coming off of two healthy 16-game seasons in Washington. During this stretch, he completed an average of 68.45 percent of his passes and threw for 54 touchdowns compared to 23 interceptions. He could be the breath of fresh air 49ers fans are longing for.
