Following 's infamous broken-jaw incident on Aug. 7, the took the temperature of potential quarterbacks available for trade. NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reported Sunday on NFL Network's GameDay Morning that one inquiry made Jose Cruz Jr. Jersey while covering their basis was regarding the availability of , who at the time backed up in Washington. "The did not know how long would be out and they did their due diligence, calling all around the league," said Rapoport. "...The most interesting team they called was the . I am told the inquired about trading for now-starter . The Jose Altuve Jersey would not consider it, wouldn't even talk about it. It just wasn't clear why, because at that point was the starter. But make no mistake, the knew what they had in . They would not trade Roy Oswalt Jersey him and they believe he's a big part of their future." It's standard procedure for teams to test the waters on potential trade options when a important piece -- like a starting quarterback -- goes down with injury. The Houston Astros Custom Jersey wouldn't have likely offered much for a quarterback with question marks like Cousins. Gang Green will ride to open the season and Smith could have a chance to win the job back when he returns -- likely after mi sing about four games. The ' stance has seemingly always been to hang onto Cousins, a former fourth-round pick, in case got injured Jeff Bagwell Jersey again. Washington's rebuffing of the inquiry isn't a shock, especially now that he's been named the starter.Perhaps , maybe the could consider giving Washington a ring about a different quarterback.
