Falcons' Kirk Cousins trade destination has AFC team as 'only hope'

   

Kirk Cousins had a number of trade destination possibilities earlier in the offseason.

As teams have filled their QB spots, the options have diminished for the Falcons veteran.

Buyin' or Keep Tryin': Kirk Cousins is the better QB option for Browns than drafting a rookie 'GMFB'
 
 

The Steelers could technically still be a possibility, but it still seems like Aaron Rodgers will be going there.

That leaves the Cleveland Browns.

SI's Dave Holcomb calls the Browns the "only hope" for a team trading for Cousins.

Cleveland is currently sitting on Kenny Pickett as its 2025 starting QB, and the Browns could also opt to draft a QB at No. 2 overall or with a later pick.

Cousins threw a league-worst 16 interceptions in 2024 and was benched for Michael Penix.

At the moment, Cousins is a highly priced backup to Penix.

The Browns, if they want, won't have to bid against any other contenders to acquire Cousins in a trade.
