Throughout his career with the Redskins, Kirk Cousins' name has been the focal point of several different trade rumors and even a few trade offers that the Redskins have balked at. Finally, after getting his chance to take over as the Redskins' starter last season when Robert Griffin went down with an injury, Cousins failed to fully grasp his opportunity. Cousins started five games in 2014, but he led the Redskins to a losing record in those games on the way to throwing nine interceptions.

Since then, the chatter has died down proving that sometimes the unknown trumps reality.

First year general manager Scot McCloughan admitted Monday at his press conference that the team hasn't received any offers for Cousins this offseason.

In all likelihood, Cousins will be back with the team to battle it out in training camp with Colt McCoy for the right to backup Griffin. That is at least where things stand now.
