Everyone is thinking that SF because of Kyle tie in, but I believe it will be the Browns who will sign that offer sheet because they have the ammo and the reasoning.
They can trade the 1st overall pick and still pick in the first round at 12. The also have multiple 2nd round picks and the most cap space. If they want to do an outright trade they have the ammunition to make that happen.
Last year the Browns racked up multiple picks in this draft and if they don't make the right decisions this year that management will be fired.

I don't think we lose Kirk Cousins to anybody, but if it were to happen, it would be interesting that the Browns wind up getting both of our 2012 quarterback draft picks. I'm sure there's still a small sec of Redskins fans who would say to straight up trade Cousins for RGIII back, lol!
What if there was some weird three way trade where the 'skins jettisoned Cousins to the 49ers, the 49ers make some weird trade with New England in which Jimmy Garoppolo wound up heading to Washington? Could you imagine the nightmare of trying to spell his name right in these forums?
