Kirk Cousins said recently during an interview with Sky Sports that contract talks haven’t started and he doesn’t expect them to get going until March.
Cousins was asked during the interview what his mindset was heading into this offseason and the 35-year-old revealed that talks “usually don’t start until March” and that his camp is currently “waiting it out.”
“You know, many people who ask including friends and family are surprised to learn that the conversations really don’t begin until March,” Cousins said in the Jan. 30 interview. “So I would love to know where I’m going. I would love to get those conversations going. Now I’m just sitting at home, watching the playoffs. I don’t have much going on except for rehab but I really have to wait until the first couple weeks of March to be in those conversations. So that’s what we’re doing. We’re just waiting it out.”
Cousins also mentioned that he’s waiting to see how the NFL fills its coaching vacancies, but in the days since the interview took place the Washington Commanders have hired Dan Quinn and the Seattle Seahawks have hired Mike Macdonald, meaning all head coach openings have been filled.
