3 Reasons Kirk Cousins to the Los Angeles Rams Could Happen in 2018

Thanks to some recent chatter over his future with the Washington Redskins, here’s a look at three reasons why Kirk Cousins joining the Los Angeles Rams in 2018 isn’t so crazy after all.

The Los Angeles Rams have high expectations for Jared Goff heading into his second season thanks to a new coaching staff led by Sean McVay, but that doesn’t mean last year’s top pick is guaranteed to have a future with this franchise. If anything, Goff should look at this year as an audition to prove himself worthy of being the team’s leader, and avoid the possibility of the Rams considering another quarterback option down the road, such as Kirk Cousins.

At the moment, the chances of this actually happening seem a bit crazy, but Albert Breer recently discussed on the MMQB how the Washington Redskins quarterback could be a target for Los Angeles in 2018, depending on how this year plays out. Keep in mind how much time Cousins has spent over the last two years fighting for a long-term deal from the team, and how the Redskins could end up using the franchise tag on him once again this season, which could make the quarterback want to hit the open market even more once the time comes.
