Now that Kirk Cousins officially won't be returning to the Washington Redskins, one of his former teammates is getting in some verbal jabs.Cousins officially became a free agent Tuesday after the Redskins declined to use their franchise tag on the quarterback. This is hardly a surprise, as Cousins' departure was already a virtual certainty after Washington traded for veteran pivot Alex Smith earlier this offseason.Longtime Redskins defensive back DeAngelo Hall appeared on SportsCenter on Tuesday, and didn't hold back when asked about Cousins moving on."We kind of felt like the commitment wasn't there from Kirk," Hall said. "We obviously wanted Kirk. We franchised him because we wanted him there. It was up to ownership and the front office to kind of work those numbers out. They couldn't get the numbers worked out so he signed franchise tags those two football seasons. Everybody in that locker room was behind Kirk, we wanted him there, but we wanted to feel like he wanted to be there as well. Having played 14 years, I understand, 'Let's go get the money.' But at some point it has to be mutual interest from both parties to want to get better collectively as a team. Paying Kirk probably the $30 million he's going to get, we couldn't do that and get better as a football team."Hall is also placing some of the blame on Redskins management, who he says never believed Cousins would develop into an elite quarterback."I think Kirk Cousins realized he was better than [Robert Griffin III] before the organization did," Hall added. "I think we took a little too much in realizing how good he was. Then when it was time to really pay him, we kind of said, 'Hey, we want to see a little bit more.' And we did that, and then his numbers kind of went up. Then we said, 'Well, we still want to keep [our long-term offer] in this ballpark.' And he wanted a little more, so we said, 'All right, we'll franchise you again.' Finally, we just started getting a feeling as though, oh, maybe he really doesn't want to be here. He wanted to kind of pick his own destination, I felt like."The 29-year-old, of course, now holds his own destiny in his hands, and can sign with a team of his choosing. Entering his seventh professional season, the Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets are rumored to be very interested in the quarterback. Cousins has also previously stated that winning a Super Bowl title is his priority over maximizing the dollar figure on a potential contract."If you're just a quarterback away, you pay Kirk Cousins whatever he wants to get, because he will win for you," Hall said.Ironically, Cousins took to social media Tuesday to allow his followers the opportunity to suggest where he should sign.

Cousins has appeared in 62 career games - all for the Redskins - throwing for 99 touchdowns while completing 65.5 percent of his passes.
