WASHINGTON (WMAL) — As the Redskins prepare to formally introduce Alex Smith as the new Quarterback, outgoing QB Kirk Cousins has written a farewell letter to Washington.
“Knowing I will not be putting on a Redskins jersey next season, it’s hard to look back at all that’s taken place and not become emotional. I will forever be grateful to Mike Shanahan for taking a chance on me in the 2012 draft. At the time, many people saw his selection as foolish. Time proved otherwise and taught me that there are no guarantees in this business — if you work hard and learn from your mistakes, good things can happen. For the first time in 11 years I will participate in choosing where I play. Having said this, I would not trade the past decade for anything.” Cousins wrote.

What an incredible 6 years here in Washington. My childhood dream of becoming an NFL quarterback came true in this amazing city, and I have been truly blessed! https://t.co/FbYuUcVYjI pic.twitter.com/MJjH5f9cXH
