Kirk Cousins hasn't gotten the Redskins to the Super Bowl, but he'll have a spot in the upcoming game anyway.
Cousins went to the White House Thursday to film a commercial with noted Donald Trump impersonator John Di Domenico. Their humorous ad for Virginia-based Cyprus Air, a gas fireplace company, will run between the third and fourth quarters of Super Bowl 52.

Di Domenico, whose impersonation of the president have kept him busy the past couple of years, said the quarterback's humble behavior surprised him.
“He just walked right up,” Di Domenico told the Washington Post. “I’m like, ‘This guy is a multimillionaire and there’s nobody with him.’ He was really great and he really wanted to get everything right and make sure he was hitting each beat properly.”
Cyprus Air has run ads in the past two Super Bowls featuring former Redskins great Joe Jacoby. There's obviously a chance Cousins himself will soon be a former Redskin. Although he's willing to be franchise-tagged for a third consecutive year, the high price tag ($34.47 million) makes that unlikely.
If Cousins is indeed headed into free agency, he'll be a rare commodity as a franchise-caliber, free-agent QB. One of the quarterback-hungry teams who could use his skills is the Broncos, and some fans took the opportunity to do some lobbying Thursday.
