Among the tweets were those of retired NASCAR driver — and Redskins superfan — Dale Earnhardt Jr.
IYER: Ranking Kirk Cousins’ best options in free agency
When the news first broke, he expressed his intrigue through a “Big Lebowski” gif.
But, as usually becomes the case with fans of the franchise, he voiced his displeasure with a decision made by the team’s front office, tweeting that giving up young cornerback Kendall Fuller in addition to a third-round draft pick was a bad idea.
Fuller tried to squash the trade rumors, most likely to the delight of Earnhardt, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter reiterated that Fuller is headed to Kansas City.
As for current Washington quarterback Kirk Cousins, Earnhardt believes keeping him would have been too expensive.
Junior also believes Cousins would be best suited in a Broncos jersey.
