Earlier this week, I took a look at what options were available to the Atlanta Falcons when it came to Kirk Cousins. Now benched, the team’s expensive free agent signing could stay, be cut, or be traded, and it was simply a matter of the route the team wanted to take and Cousins would allow.
I suggested that Cousins’ contract was not as impossible to trade as it might seem, given that the team taking him on would get a relatively affordable amount of guaranteed money while the Falcons ate the rest, and the upcoming quarterback market between the draft and free agency looks grim.
