After the trade from Alex Smith to Washington, it is also clear that the Redskins Kirk cousins will not offer a contract. The veteran has entered the free agency market as one of the most sought-after quarterbacks of recent years. Since the Denver Broncos are currently looking for a new playcaller, Von Miller would probably welcome cousins in Denver.
“I’ve talked to him about this before. He knows exactly how I feel about it,”said Von Miller on Wednesday at The Dan Patrick Show,”I told him what he would mean to us and what he would be worth for many teams.”
Cousins played this season for the second time in a row under the franchise day and tossed for 4,093 yards and 27 touchdowns. As the Redskins and Cousins couldn’t agree on a new contract, the franchise decided against a third day and traded instead in exchange with Kendall Fuller and a third round pick for Alex Smith from Kansas City.
“We need Kirk,”Von Miller continued.”I’d like to see him on our side. We got great quarterbacks here, but cousins could be the puzzle piece we need.”
The Broncos have the fifth pick in coming draft and could also access a low quarterback class here. The Broncos coaching staff worked at the Senior Bowl with the Northern team, giving them the opportunity to take a closer look at Baker Mayfield and Josh Allen.
