Insider Names 2 Potential Landing Spots For Kirk Cousins

Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings is one of the anticipated few intriguing veteran quarterbacks to be available in the NFL this summer.

Despite the fact that Cousins, 35, recently suffered a torn Achilles tendon, which terminated his season early, several teams are still likely to pursue him.

Although he might stay in Minnesota, Tom Pelissero suggested to Jim Rome that

the Denver Broncos or Atlanta Falcons might be interested in signing him.

Pelissero remarked, “I do think if you look around at an Atlanta, at maybe a

Denver, they got to figure out some things with Russell Wilson.”

The Falcons have a strong running back in Bijan Robinson, who had a strong

rookie season, and a good young wide receiver in Drake London, but they have

a large void at quarterback. Raheem Morris has taken over as head coach.

Perhaps with Cousins joining them, they would have a real shot at winning the

NFC South, which is perhaps the weakest division in the NFL, and qualifying for

the playoffs for the first time since the 2017 season.

Many observers anticipate that Denver will end its relationship with Russell

Wilson this summer, having missed the playoffs in both of their seasons with him.

In his eight games in 2023, Cousins passed for 2,331 yards and eight touchdowns. He had been selected to the

Pro Bowl in three of his previous four seasons.

Given his wear and tear, it will be difficult for him to return from an

Achilles tear and play at a high level, but if he can, he may give a team a shot at winning this fall.
