The Washington Commanders have made significant changes since Kirk Cousins last played a game for them nearly five years ago. The general manager (Scot McCloughan) and coach (Jay Gruden) that Cousins played under are long gone, the inevitable roster turnover has taken place and the team dropped its previously offensive nickname.
That means not much will be familiar to the quarterback when he makes his first visit to FedEx Field since signing a three-year, fully guaranteed $84 million free agent contract with the Vikings in March 2018. But don’t underestimate what this game will mean to Cousins.
