The Facts: ESPN 980 has learned from multiple sources that Cousins spent several days very recently with former Raiders and Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden.

Diehards Line:That would be Gruden the Monday Night Football analyst, who also happens to be the brother of Redskins HC Jay Gruden -- the man expected to be the top decision maker when it comes to who will be the starting quarterback in 2015 for the Redskins. It's not unusual for QBs to work with positional gurus during their downtime. Robert Griffin III worked with his QB mentor, Terry Shea, last winter before organizing a group of skill players for a week of workouts in Arizona. However, Cousins apparently wanted to give himself every edge possible and either chose or was strongly encouraged to go spend several days, working with Jon Gruden, who has worked with many young quarterbacks in Tampa leading up to the annual draft. More importantly, as ESPN980's Chris Russell suggests, it's conceivable to think that Jay strongly pushed for this arrangement or at least encouraged it. While we shouldn't read too much into this, it's certainly worth noting.
