The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... The Redskins want a second-round pick in the NFL draft if they are going to trade Cousins, according to a person familiar with the team's planning.

Diehards Line: It's not clear how active the Redskins' trade discussions with other teams regarding Cousins are at this point, or what other clubs might be willing to surrender in a trade for him. It also is not known if Redskins officials will remain adamant about wanting to receive a second-round choice for Cousins or if the team ultimately might be willing to part with him for a lesser compensation package. The Redskins lack a first-round pick in this year's NFL draft, thanks to the 2012 trade with the St. Louis Rams that enabled them to move up in the first-round order to select quarterback Robert Griffin III. The Redskins do have a second-round selection this year. ... We'll go ahead and note the Post reported a day ago that Cousins wasn't likely go to play anywhere but Washington in 2014. So stay tuned and remember: Conflicting stories are the norm this time of year.
