Daron Payne came to Washington in the 2018 NFL draft as the No. 13 overall pick. By the time Payne arrived, Kirk Cousins was gone. Cousins, who had spent six seasons in Washington, including his final three years as the full-time starting quarterback, left after he and former team president Bruce Allen couldn’t agree on contract terms.
On Sunday, Cousins returned to Washington for the first time as an opponent, leading the Minnesota Vikings to a 20-17 win over the Commanders.
