Browns | Rob Chudzinski fired

Redskins | Pierre Garcon wraps up great season

Washington Redskins WR Pierre Garcon posted 113 receptions for 1,346 yards this season, both of which were career highs.

Redskins | Kirk Cousins hurts trade value

Washington Redskins QB Kirk Cousins completed only 19 of his 49 pass attempts for 169 yards with two interceptions and a lost fumble in the Week 17 game against the New York Giants. His record dropped to 0-3 as a starter this season. Beat writer Tarik El-Bashir feels that previous talk of Cousins being traded for a second-round draft pick might have been premature.
