Kirk Cousins reportedly has not ruled out any teams
Not every NFL team will be searching for a starting quarterback this offseason, but Kirk Cousins is apparently willing to listen to each and every one that is.
There have been widespread rumblings that Cousins has already narrowed down his list of potential suitors. Some reports say he is down to the Jets and Vikings, while others have insisted the Broncos and — to a lesser extent — the Cardinals are still in play. According to both Manish Mehta of the New York Daily News and Charles Robinson of Yahoo Sports, Cousins has not ruled out a single team.
I'm hearing that free agent Kirk Cousins has not ruled out any teams (despite the chatter). He's keeping all options open. There's still ample time to survey the landscape and find a new home. So, the Jets are still very much a viable destination.

Not a single team is off the table for Kirk Cousins. Not one. And there are nine freaking days until free agency kicks off. That’s a lifetime. https://t.co/WMWVgqJyVj

Cousins probably would prefer to sign with a team that is close to contending, and that’s why Minnesota makes a lot of sense. The same could be said for the Broncos, who still have a solid defense and plenty of weapons on offense. However, if one team truly is willing to blow all of the others away with an offer, he might be more inclined to join a rebuilding project.
The overall point is that Cousins has yet to even receive a formal offer from any team and won’t get one for more than a week. To say he is down to two teams or has already made a decision seems absurd.
