Kirk Cousins was to throw four picks from swag surfing. Now it appears he’s leaving Atlanta on the way out of Atlanta after signing a massive $100 million contract. The Falcons have made him bench late last season in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr. So, what’s next for the veteran quarterback?
Moves to Cleveland may be included in your card. The insider believes that joining the Browns is the right move and will give him a fresh start. In the latest episode of Insider with Tom Pelissero and Judy Bautista, Insider shed light on the situation of his cousin in Atlanta.
They pointed out that the Falcons have not given any indications of Kirk’s deal or release, but Penix appears to be the future of the franchise, so maybe they too. Maintaining a veteran QB is unacceptable and disruptive for locker room dynamics.
“Well, certainly, they all seem to be in Michael Penix. So we have to assume that Kirk Cousins is not there. The question is, can they find a trading partner or he Do I have to release it?”
Judy Bautista pointed out that QBS, away from Achilles’ injuries, tends to improve in her second year, and that her cousin may be on the same track. Playing him at this point doesn’t like Atlant’s options, but the Browns may be willing to give the veteran a new home as they need a QB after Desshaun Watson’s ACL injury. yeah.
“Kirk Cousins will probably be better next season. Does Cleveland, for example, need a QB with Desshaun Watson’s own Achilles injury in question?”
The move made just as logical as what the Steelers did last season, signing Russell Wilson on a one-year veteran contract after the Broncos released him. Denver is still paying him, and Atlanta has to pay him just like Kirk Cousins. Why not take advantage of the cap-friendly situation?
Speaking of similar circumstances, Russ is once again a free agent after his year-long contract ended. Can the Steelers re-sign him, or will someone else try to buy the services of a veteran QB?
Russell Wilson may find it difficult to find a new home
Wilson has made it clear that he wants to stay in Pittsburgh, but the final decision will depend on the Steelers. It’s cap-friendly while signing him, so it’ll bring Justin’s Fields. Team owner Art Rooney says Pittsburgh will sign one of the two, but insiders believe they are leaning towards Fields given their youth and strong support in the locker room. It’s there.
As the Steelers move on, Wilson bumps into a free agency in search of a new home. There is speculation that he might reunite with Las Vegas Pete Carroll, but like Kirk Cousins, Wilson is now considered a bridge quarterback rather than a long-term solution. However, his stock appears to be even lower than the stock of former Falcon QB.
“Pittsburgh has a decision. They seem to lean towards Justin Fields. He was young and supported him in the building, which means Russell Wilson will move. He’s another old QB. He’ll be the guy on the bridge to reach your young man. But where is he right?” said Pericero.
Everyone has seen Wilson’s decline towards the end of last season, making it difficult for him to find a franchise that is willing to commit to him as a starter.
But his biggest advantage is that signing him is cap-friendly. If a team drafts a rookie quarterback, he can serve as a valuable mentor and fill the gap into the next era while providing experience and leadership.
