Washington Redskins are an absolute mess
We really don’t even know where to start here. Maybe it’s the fact that Washington’s general manager Scot McCloughan is actually not with the team as it prepares for free agency. It could be that the Redskins are looking for a new GM. Heck, the focus here could be on how the team dropped the ball on the entire Kirk Cousins situation. Then again, maybe the brass in D.C. failing to notify running back Chris Thompson that he was offered a contract could be the starting off point (more on that here).
As it is, the Redskins find themselves in utter turmoil as free agency is set to kick off. Already likely losing starting receivers DeSean Jackson and Pierre Garcon to free agency, there remains a scenario in play here that suggests Kirk Cousins could be traded to San Francisco in the near future.
Without a GM to deal with the drama, one has to wonder where the Redskins go from here. Will owner Daniel Snyder somehow find himself involved? If not, who will take over for McCloughan throughout the entire off-season process? What we do know is that things are not necessarily going swimmingly in the nation’s capital.
When I asked a Skins official how something would end: "Soon and badly," he said. "Just like everything else around here."

If that’s the case, will San Francisco look to take advantage of the drama in D.C. by offering below-market value for Cousins? Will any top-end free agent want to join this dumpster fire? So many questions on the eve of free agency that it’s too hard to point to one issue.
