During a series of prearranged interviews on Radio Row ahead of Super Bowl LII on Friday, Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins said he expects to become a free agent when the new league year begins March 14.

“We’ll see if that plays out, and if it does, it’s a unique opportunity that I look forward to,” Cousins said in the wake of Washington’s trade with the Kansas City Chiefs for quarterback Alex Smith. “I haven’t had a chance to pick where I wanted to play since 2007 when I chose to go to Michigan State.”

The Redskins could place the franchise tag on Cousins, a risky move that would prevent him from hitting the open market in an attempt to recoup a player or draft pick from another team via a subsequent trade, but no matter how the next few weeks unfold, Cousins has taken his last snap for Washington. Which means he has a lot of burgundy and gold apparel to unload.

While Cousins jerseys and other Cousins merchandise in the Redskins’ team store remain full price, Cousins is offering a buy one, get one sale on all T-shirts, including ‘You like that!’ swag, on his personal website.

“I’m looking forward to next season..how about you?” read the email that went out to KirkCousins.org subscribers Monday. “Grab some tees to hold you over in the mean time (sic).”

“Whoa!” Cousins tweeted Tuesday afternoon. “Buy one, get one FREE all t-shirts! Check it out now.”

Many Redskins fans, predictably, did not “like that,” or at the very least found the timing of the shameless plug off-putting. By Wednesday morning, Cousins’s #ratioed tweet had nearly five times as many replies as retweets, most of them snarky.

Cousins has previously stated that a portion of the proceeds for the merchandise on his site goes to charity, and his “Yule like that!” ugly sweater, which will only get uglier, is a relative bargain at $24.99. That said, until he finds a new home, it might be best for Cousins to refrain from hawking his outdated Redskins gear and take a break from social media. On Tuesday evening, Cousins’s account tweeted again, this time an image of the quarterback warming up with a flame in the background. “When you put the heat on,” the tweet read.

Was it a reference to Cousins and his agent, Mike McCartney, pressuring the Redskins into making a deal for Smith by making it clear that they wouldn’t even begin discussing a potential long-term deal this offseason until after the March 6 deadline to apply the franchise tag? Was it instead a nod to Cousins’s starring role with a President Trump impersonator in Cyprus Air’s Super Bowl commercial for gas fireplaces? Or had Cousins, hardened by the harsh winters of Michigan, really made it to early February without turning the heat on in the townhouse he rents and will soon vacate in Ashburn? We may never know.

These are the types of silly questions we won’t be able to ask and analyze about Smith, who doesn’t have a social media presence, much less a personal online store.
