Sean McVay makes public pitch to Kirk Cousins: 'Come see us'
Sean McVay made it very clear that he would love to have Kirk Cousins as Matthew Stafford's backup.
When it comes to the backup quarterback position, the Los Angeles Rams ’ options are becoming somewhat limited. Several veterans have already come off the board in free agency, including Joe Flacco and Carson Wentz, but Kirk Cousins and Jimmy Garoppolo are both still available. Sean McVay said Monday that the Rams are still hoping for a reunion with Garoppolo, who was their backup quarterback for the last two years, but Cousins is also a very real option.
McVay coached Cousins in Washington and would love to reunite with the 37-year-old QB in Los Angeles. “Kirk and I experienced a lot of first things together and so there was a real foundational relationship,” McVay said on ESPN Monday. “His success, and really, the success we were able to have as a team was instrumental in getting an opportunity to get to L.
A. So I’m forever indebted to him, and guys like Jordan Reed. ” McVay even went as far as making a public pitch to Cousins, telling him to “come see us” during his interview on ESPN.
“Kirk was awesome,” McVay said. “He’s special, he’s played at a high level. He’s a starting quarterback in this league.
