Cousins wants to stay in Washington his entire career

In an interview with Sal Paolantonio of ESPN, Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins said: “my desire is to stay with one team my entire career, and that would be Washington.” The interview follows weeks of speculation over Cousins’ future in Washington, after the two sides failed to reach a long-term deal.
Cousins played all but one of the Redskins 1061 offensive snaps in 2016, and ended the season as the ninth highest graded quarterback in the league, with a PFF overall grade of 85.4.
Cousins was especially effective going deep last season, and gained a total of 1,359 yards on passes that traveled at least 20 yards in the air, the highest mark among the league’s quarterbacks. His passer rating of 118.1 on such passes ranked fourth.
Heading into a pivotal contract year, Cousins will look to improve his performance in the red zone. Outside of the Red zone, Cousins posted an adjusted completion percentage of 77.4%, which ranked sixth among 30 quarterbacks with at least 300 pass attempts. However, that figure dropped to 54.3% in the red zone, which ranked 26th of 29 quarterbacks with at least 40 attempts. The drop off of 23.1% was the second highest among quarterbacks in the league.
