On Feb. 20, CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin named the three best fits for Cousins this offseason. Unsurprisingly, he identified the Cleveland Browns and New York Jets, two teams who have been linked to Cousins throughout this offseason.

Jackson Stone is a sports journalist for ClutchPoints with expertise in covering the NBA, NFL, and CAA Football. The Mercer University senior from Atlanta is on track to graduate with a BA in communications, and he has bylines at FanSided and USA Today Sports' Georgia athletics website.

Graziano noted Cousins' roster bonus being due on March 17 along with $27.5 million in salary already being guaranteed for 2025. He then explained why a trade makes the most sense, rather than a release:

“Spielman’s presence in the front office is sure to spark Kirk Cousins speculation,” ESPN’s Rich Cimini wrote on February 10. “As the Minnesota Vikings’ GM, Spielman signed Cousins to a huge free agent deal in 2018. Cousins, who enjoyed his most productive years in Minnesota, is likely to be cut or traded by the Atlanta Falcons in the coming weeks.

The Tennessee Titans desperately need to upgrade their quarterback, and Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins could be a short-term answer.

According to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, the Atlanta Falcons' decision on quarterback Kirk Cousins is coming soon.

It sounds like it's only a matter of time before quarterback Kirk Cousins is no longer a member of the Atlanta Falcons.

Rumors now suggest that the Falcons are looking to trade Cousins, who's set to enter the second season of a four-year $180 million deal, and John Kosko of Pro Football Focus lists the Las Vegas Raiders as the best fit for him.
