Jay Gruden was the head coach of the Washington Commanders from 2014 to 2019. That was so long ago that the team had a different name and Kirk Cousins wasn't considered the old guy by any of his teammates.
Washington was a .500 team during the years where Cousins was the starter, but they didn't really know what to do with him longterm which resulted in him playing under the franchise tag for multiple seasons before he finally left for Minnesota in 2018. Washington was given a third round supplemental draft pick to help make up for the loss of their starting quarterback and they'd been looking for a replacement ever since, finally appearing to draft a franchise QB in Jayden Daniels seven years later.
