With the Washington Redskins not using the franchise tag Tuesday on Kirk Cousins, the 29-year-old quarterback is open for business.

On Twitter, Cousins said he’s “open to suggestions” on where to play next. He also remarked how this will be the first time since 2007, when he committed to Michigan State, that he’ll get to choose his next team. 



The Redskins drafted Cousins in the fourth round of the 2012 draft. He spent the past three seasons as starter. 

But after years of not being able to agree to a long-term contract, the Redskins moved on in January, trading for Alex Smith.

Four teams — the Arizona Cardinals, Denver Broncos, New York Jets and Minnesota Vikings — are expected to be the favorites for Cousins’ services.

Broncos wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders made his desire clear.
