If Washington decides to trade Kirk Cousins, he would only accept a move to the San Francisco 49ers.

Wednesday is the deadline for the Redskins to decide whether to place their franchise tag on the quarterback.

Former Washington offensive coordinator Kyle Shanahan is the new head coach of the 49ers.

Cousins can't outright block a trade to any team, but given the fact that he isn't signed long-term he could keep a club from acquiring by refusing to commit long-term.

The Chicago Bears have actively begun seeking a trade of Jay Cutler.

Chicago are trying to acquire draft compensation for Cutler and talks are expected to accelerate heading into the combine.

While Cutler's contract does not include a no-trade clause, there remains a widespread belief that a deal will require both Cutler and the Bears to agree on the suitor.

Cutler has little incentive to play for a noncompetitive team given the lack of any guaranteed money in his current contract

The Miami Dolphins have acquired Julius Thomas and a 2018 first round pick from the Jacksonville Jaguars in exchange for Branden Albert and a 2017 seventh round pick.

Thomas also will restructure his contract upon completion of the trade. He is expected to be in Miami on Tuesday to meet with the Dolphins.

With the acquisition of Thomas, Miami has filled a major need at tight end. Former starters Jordan Cameron and Dion Sims suffered through injuries and inconsistency, and both will be unrestricted free agents in March.

Thomas worked with Adam Gase when both were with the Denver Broncos.

The Miami Dolphins and Jacksonville Jaguars are working on a swap involving Branden Albert and Julius Thomas, according to a report.

There are still details that need to be worked out, including the possibility of more players.

It was reported last week that the Dolphins planned to cut Albert, but that didn't happen when Miami found interest in him.

While Jimmy Garoppolo is the subject of trade rumors this offseason after his impressive performance during the suspension of Tom Brady, he could remain with the New England Patriots.

Even with Brady turning 40 this offseason, he plans to play several more seasons.

According to Ed Werder, people inside the Patriots are not expecting to trade Garoppolo. 

Tony Romo is expecting to be released and not traded by the Dallas Cowboys this offseason, according to a source.

Romo believes he can start for two or three more seasons despite turning 37 and his injury history.

In a similar circumstance, Peyton Manning was released by the Indianapolis Colts in 2012 when he returned from multiple neck surgeries and the team drafted Andrew Luck.

In a video from December that was released on Friday, Myles Garrett asked Jerry Jones to trade up to select him in the 2017 NFL Draft.

The ESPN video, released Friday, was taken during a relaxed interview session at the College Football Awards show Dec. 8.

His answer was "100 percent supposed to be fun," the producer said.

"All right, I'm speaking to you, Jerry," Myles Garrett said. "Mr. Garrett, make it happen. Dak Prescott is leading our team right now. I need you to take Tony Romo, take a couple picks, give them to Cleveland so you can pick me up. Please. I would love to play in Dallas. Just make it happen."

In a separate video for KRIV-TV in Houston that was posted on Twitter on Thursday, Garrett said he would "definitely" like to play for the Browns.

"People might say, oh they're this, they're that, or I made a comment about cold weather and they kind of pointed toward Cleveland," Garrett said. "It doesn't matter to me. I'll play wherever they put me. It's about your mindset you go into it [with]. If you go in there with a mindset that you're going to turn things around, you can make that contagious and people start to believe in it, then you can turn it into a winning program wherever you go."

Garrett grew up in Arlington where the Cowboys play.

The Chicago Bears will far and away make Jimmy Garoppolo their top priority this offseason.

Garoppolo is a native of Illinois and the Bears would like to move on from Jay Cutler.

Garoppolo could be traded by the New England Patriots this offseason with Tom Brady still planning on playing several seasons.

The Cleveland Browns, New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers are also expected to have interest in Garoppolo. 

The Bears are prepared to engage in talks on Garoppolo at the combine later this month, or sooner if need be. 

The Cleveland Browns have real interest in acquiring Jimmy Garoppolo from the New England Patriots this offseason, according to a report.

The Browns have the first overall pick in the draft and could still decide to take a quarterback. Cleveland also has the No. 12 pick, which they acquired from the Philadelphia Eagles, to use in a trade or on a quarterback.

It appears as though Jay Cutler could be an option for the San Francisco 49ers at quarterback.

John Lynch, the club's new general manager, played with Cutler with the Denver Broncos.

"I like Jay, he's a friend of mine," Lynch said. "He had some growing up to do, probably still has some growing up to do. But in saying that, I think the Broncos erred in letting him go.

"This is a guy, in my mind, that's a once-in-every-15-year-type talent. He's got that kind of skill. I think he'll grow into the other things. I sometimes think during this whole ordeal, they tried to paint him as a bad guy, but he's not a bad guy at all. He's got some growing up to do, but hopefully he learned something from this whole ordeal and offseason."
