In one week, Kirk Cousins can call his shot.
One Prominent Team Apparently Out of Kirk Cousins Sweepstakes
It’s really that simple: Cousins faces a binary choice of returning to the Minnesota Vikings, wrapping his arms around continuity, perhaps with a smaller paycheck — or joining the highest bidder, a team like the Atlanta Falcons that is quarterback-starved and hasn’t reached the playoffs since 2017.
Regarding Cousins’ would-be next NFL employers, though, one team appears to have exited stage left. That’s the New England Patriots, a franchise that seems to need a quarterback, but Jerod Mayo’s club evidently won’t partake in the Cousins sweepstakes.
