Jay Gruden is still upset about Washington losing Kirk Cousins ​​in 2018

Jay Gruden was the head coach of the Washington Commanders from 2014 to 2019. It's been so long since the team had a different name and Kirk Cousins ​​wasn't considered the old man by any of his teammates.

Washington was a .500 team in the years Cousins ​​was the starter, but they didn't really know what to do with him long-term, which resulted in him playing under the franchise tag for several seasons , before ultimately moving to Minnesota in 2018. Washington received an additional third-round draft pick to compensate for the loss of their starting quarterback and have been searching for a replacement ever since. Seven years later, it seemed like he was drafting a franchise QB in Jayden Daniels.

Jay Gruden appears to still be upset about the loss of Cousins ​​and made that clear in a social media post after watching his former QB throw for more than 500 yards on Thursday Night Football.

Gruden and Cousins ​​didn't have much success together, going 0-1 in their only trip to the postseason, but we know for sure that Gruden didn't survive without Cousins. He was fired after an 0-5 start in 2019. That same season, Cousins ​​achieved a 10-5 record as the Vikings' starting quarterback.

It's understandable why he might still regret the franchise's decision.
