Kirk Cousins Turns Down $54 Million Contract Because 'God Told Him To'

Sep 07, 2017 by Will Maule HelloChristian

NFL star quarterback Kirk Cousins has turned down a massive new contract agreement with the Redskins because 'God told him to.' The team reportedly offered Cousins a long-term deal including $53 million in guarantees, which he denied. Cousins instead elected to play out 2017 on a one-year deal. 

“I prayed about it and said, ‘Lord, what do you want to do?’ I just didn’t feel at peace about signing a long-term contract. I think the Lord communicates with us in many ways, and one of those ways is through his peace. And I just didn’t feel at peace," Cousins said in a speech at Liberty University, reports For The Win.

“And I do believe that the Lord — at least in my life — likes to use one-year contracts and not long-term contracts. He likes to take me to the edge of the Red Sea and have me see there is water in front of me, there are mountains on either side, and there are Egyptians chasing me from behind."

"And He wants me to sit there for a moment and go, ‘God, You better show up.’ And then He parts the Red Sea and He’s done that time and again in my life, on the football field, and off the football field.”

Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III was told to remove his "Know Jesus, Know Peace" t-shirt before a press conference, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Reporter Michael Phillips posted on Twitter that Tony McGee, a NFL uniform inspector made Griffin turn the shirt inside out because it wasn't a Nike product.

NFL bylaws bar players from wear clothing that sends a personal message on game days.

"Throughout the period on game-day that a player is visible to the stadium and television audience (including in pre-game warm-ups, in the bench area, and during post-game interviews in the locker room or on the field), players are prohibited from wearing, displaying, or otherwise conveying personal messages either in writing or illustration, unless such message has been approved in advance by the League office," NFL bylaws state (Section 4, Article 8).

However other players, like Redskins linebacker Ryan Kerrigan, wore t-shirts with other brands without incident. Kerrigan's t-shirt displayed a logo for Five Four Clothing.

CSN-Washington reports the Redskins denied they forced Griffin to flip his shirt and that he did so to avoid a possible fine.
