ASHBURN, Va. - Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins says he would like to be traded from the team should Robert Griffin be named the starter for the 2015 season.
"Isn't it obvious I couldn't stay here?" Cousins told Dianna Marie Russini of NBC4 (Washington).
Cousins went 1-4 in relief of Griffin over five starts, tossing 10 touchdowns and 9 interceptions, including a 4 pick outing in a Monday nighter against the Giants in September, a 45-14 defeat.
He went 10-of-16 for 139 yards in Week 8 against the Titans before his turnover-prone ways found him on the bench in favor of Colt McCoy, who led two scoring drives in a two-point victory.
Cousins would not see the field again for the Redskins as Griffin was named the team's starter after McCoy was put on injured reserve following a neck injury.
Over three seasons in the professional ranks, the former Michigan State Spartan has 3,030 yards passing, adding 18 touchdowns against 19 interceptions.
Washington (4-12) finished their season on a 1-7 skid with Griffin under center, though they did upset the Philadelphia Eagles in a game that effectively eliminated them from postseason contention.
