Pittsburgh Steelers unlikely to acquire Kirk Cousins now

pennlive.com

The Pittsburgh Steelers' chances of acquiring quarterback Kirk Cousins have decreased. Cousins is now on the Atlanta Falcons roster, securing a $10 million bonus, making his contract harder to trade. Cousins, who has expressed a desire to leave the Falcons, signed a four-year, $180 million deal. His performance last season included 3,508 passing yards, 18 touchdowns, and 16 interceptions. With Cousins' bonus now guaranteed, the Steelers are less likely to pursue him as a fallback option.
