Cleveland no longer expected to make play for Washington's Kirk Cousins
The Cleveland Browns "aren't expected" to make a run at Washington franchise-tagged quarterback Kirk Cousins, The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports, but three other teams have in the past 10 days and were "immediately turned down."
What It Means:
This counters an earlier report from ProFootballTalk which claimed there was a "growing belief" Cleveland will try and swing a deal for Cousins. Beat writer Mary Kay Cabot didn't completely shoot down the idea of a trade, but she did point to lofty draft pick compensation and long-term contract concerns as reasons for it being unlikely.
Cousins earned the sixth-most Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) per drop back among the 39 quarterbacks to drop back at least 100 times in 2016. The Browns finished 26th in schedule-adjusted Passing NEP per play.
