Falcons seek trade partner for Kirk Cousins

There are new developments regarding quarterback Kirk Cousins and his future. His recent $10 million roster bonus has drawn attention to potential trade talks. Josina Anderson reported that Cousins’ name has come up in these discussions, with some mentioning a “3rd-round pick” might be involved. This news surprised many, as it seems unlikely. Current insights from Jordan Schultz suggest a different narrative for the Falcons. He mentioned that the team is frustrated and eager to move on. They are reportedly focused on drafting quarterback Michael Penix and cannot keep Cousins on the roster. Schultz noted that GM Terry Fontenot is looking for a trade partner willing to take on some of Cousins’ salary. However, Schultz indicated that finding such a partner may be difficult. He believes that the best chance for a trade would be to attract a team that misses out on a quarterback during the draft. The Falcons are actively reaching out to teams, but the situation remains tense. Overall, while there is chatter about a Cousins trade, it seems unlikely to materialize soon, especially for anything more than a late-round draft pick. Both the trade market and the NFL Draft will play crucial roles in determining Cousins' future.
