The Washington Redskins were interested in trading Kirk Cousins this offseason, but he "never really got a whole lot of information" on how close a deal was.

Cousins will now enter his third season as Robert Griffin III's backup at quarterback.

“I think the mind-set is the same as it’s always been since the day I was drafted,” Cousins said following Thursday’s practice at Redskins Park, “which is stay ready, make the most of your opportunities whether it’s in practice or in games, and learn this system as best you can, and play well in practice so that these coaches get excited about what you can bring to the team. So that’s kind of been my same mindset all the way along. And it really won’t change depending on circumstances."

The Cleveland Browns reportedly offered a fourth round pick for Cousins.

“I didn’t know what was truth and what was rumors, what was speculation,” Cousins said Thursday. “So it was hard for me to really read into anything because you didn’t know how true it was. So I think for the most part it was smart for me just to stay out of it.”

The Buffalo Bills were so enamored by Sammy Watkins that they attempted to move up all the way to No. 1 to ensure they were able to select him.

The Bills eventually moved up from No. 9 to No. 4 to select Watkins, giving up their first round pick next season and a fourth rounder as well.

“We went with Houston right off the bat,” Bills' director of player personnel Jim Monos said. “We tried to go to No. 1. They weren’t having it. They knew who they wanted, so we started working our way right down.”

The Browns called before the Texans submitted their pick for Jadeveon Clowney to confirm that the Bills were still interested. The Bills were unsure what the Jacksonville Jaguars were thinking with the No. 3 pick.

“We really didn’t know,” Monos said. “Jacksonville never tipped it. We had just heard so much that they needed a receiver. We thought that this was going to be Sammy. We knew that if Jacksonville didn’t take him we had a shot.”

The Buffalo Bills attempted to trade up to select Carlos Hyde.

Hyde, a running back out of Ohio State, was picked by the San Francisco 49ers.

“What we were told by Miami was the 49ers deal was more appealing because they didn’t have to drop down as far because San Francisco still had a pick in the second round so that made sense to them and it made sense to us,” Doug Whaley said.

The 49ers picked Hyde and the Bills moved on to trade for Bryce Brown to round out their backfield for the 2014 season.

Andre Johnson is unsure if he wants to remain with the Houston Texans.

"When you've been somewhere or a long time, nobody's been here as long as I have," Johnson said just after presenting a check to the Houston Area Women's Center. "I've been thinking about things this offseason. Kind of wonder if this is still the place for me."

Johnson was a first round pick in the 2003 NFL Draft by the Texans.

Johnson said he has no plans right now to participate in organized team activities or the Texans' mandatory minicamp in June. He added that he has not asked for a trade.

"Now I'm on my third head coach, that's something I give thought to," Johnson said. "I just look over my career, is it a place? I've only been to the playoffs twice. I think we've only had three winning seasons, two 8-8 seasons. I don't think any player wants to experience that.

"... You go through a rebuilding process, some people say it's not rebuilding, some people say it's a quick fix. Everybody has their own opinion. But I've been through this more than once. When I make my decision, I'll make my decision."

The Cleveland Browns won the two most lopsided trades of the 2014 NFL Draft.

Though it ranked second on Bill Barnwell's list, the Browns' acquisition of the Buffalo Bills' first round pick in 2015 can become the most impactful. The Browns acquired the ninth overall pick, along with a 2015 first rounder and a fourth rounder for the fourth overall selection, which the Bills used on Sammy Watkins.

The Bills have selected in the top half of the draft for more than a decade.

The Browns got 170.5 percent of trade value in the deal.

But the most lopsided trade was when the Browns sent the 218th overall pick in 2014 for a sixth rounder in 2015. Even if the Ravens are the 15th best team in the NFL, this like dealing 218 for 191 for free. It represents 400 percent of trade value.

The St. Louis Rams created a smokescreen at No. 13 in regards to their purported interest in Johnny Manziel.

The Rams wanted to select Zack Martin all along.

Jeff Fisher said the Rams neither made calls or received calls about the availability of Sam Bradford. The Rams have been unequivocal in their desire not to trade Bradford.

In 2013, Bradford had 14 touchdown passes against four interceptions before tearing an ACL. 

The Philadelphia Eagles have traded Bryce Brown to the Buffalo Bills for a conditional 2015 fourth round pick that can become a third rounder in 2016.

The Bills and Eagles also swapped 2014 seventh round picks.

Brown adds depth to the Bills' backfield as C.J. Spiller and Fred Jackson enter the finals seasons of their contracts.

Brown saw reduced playing time last season under first-year Eagles coach Chip Kelly. In 16 games, including one start, he rushed 75 times for 314 yards with two touchdowns. Brown figured to have his playing time further reduced due to the acquisition of Darren Sproles.

The San Francisco 49ers have acquired Stevie Johnson from the Buffalo Bills.

The 49ers will send a conditional 2015 fourth round pick that can become a third rounder.

Johnson became expendable for the Bills following their offseason acquisitions of Sammy Watkins in the draft and Mike Williams.

Johnson had 52 catches for 597 yards and three touchdowns in 12 games last season for the Bills, but he had over 1,000 yards receiving in each of the previous three campaigns. Johnson turns 28 in July.

The New England Patriots are not shopping Ryan Mallett in trade talks.

Comcast reported on Thursday that a deal between the Patriots and Houston Texans involving Mallett could "soon be done."

Mallett was a third round pick by the Patriots in 2011.
