Nothing kicks off the start of a brand-new football season better than NFL free agency, which is sure to involve plenty of player movement.

One of the bigger names that could be headed elsewhere is Kirk Cousins.

 

Kirk Cousins is less than a month away from walking to free agency, and several teams are being mentioned as possible suitors for his services.

One report is listing two teams as likely to come after him and that’s the Atlanta Falcons and his current team in the Minnesota Vikings.


The Falcons’ upcoming offseason is going to be defined by what the club does at quarterback. That position has severely handicapped the club in each of the past two seasons, and it’s time the organization give the fan base something they can cheer for.

Finding a young quarterback to invest in long-term has to be a preferred option, specifically a prospect in the 2024 draft. They can do that while bringing in a veteran like Kirk Cousins as a sort of a bridge QB to help that youngster along.

Cousins will be 36-years-old this year so he is no long-term fix.

The NFL Scouting Combine is less than two weeks away, and Cousins’ representation will hope to gauge his market with teams that weekend in Indianapolis. Cousins’ representation will look to establish his rate at the combine and come back to the table with the Vikings one final time.

Cousins threw for 2331 yards, 18 touchdowns, and 5 interceptions before his season-ending Achilles injury. The previous year, he tossed for 4,547 yards and 29 touchdowns – good enough to earn him a trip to the Pro Bowl.
