Cousins tags Vikings, Jets in farewell letter to Washington on his blog
Kirk Cousins' time in Washington has come to an end, with the passer hitting free agency this week and certain to move on to a new team.
But Cousins has one final message to Redskins fans - and it's one of gratitude.
Cousins penned a farewell letter to Washington fans and posted it on his website on Monday, notably tagging the Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets.
The tags have since been deleted.
Kirk Cousins is either smoke screening us or his web guy probably shouldn't have included post tags on each page. #jets #vikings pic.twitter.com/4NepbzIJhX

In the letter, Cousins noted that he wouldn't trade his time in Washington for anything:
Farewell, Washington
As I'm about to make one of the bigger decisions of my life, I'll be saying goodbye to my familiar life as a Redskin. After calling Washington home for the past six years, the team has decided to move on to another option and, in turn, my family and I will be moving on as well.
Knowing I will not be putting on a Redskins jersey next season, it's hard to look back at all that's taken place and not become emotional. I will forever be grateful to Mike Shanahan for taking a chance on me in the 2012 draft. At the time, many people saw his selection as foolish. Time proved otherwise and taught me that there are no guarantees in this business - if you work hard and learn from your mistakes, good things can happen. For the first time in 11 years I will participate in choosing where I play. Having said this, I would not trade the past decade for anything.
I am filled with gratitude over the unwavering support and devotion from you, the fans, both on and off the field. I'll never forget how you stormed Redskins Park at 3 a.m. to welcome us home from Philadelphia after clinching the NFC East in 2015. I've never been so happy to have my car mobbed. You made "You Like That!" a catchphrase and your boundless generosity helped us raise tens of thousands of dollars for International Justice Mission to protect victims of violence all over the world - No words will express the depth of my gratitude, but "thank you" will have to do for now.
